Mondriaan Fund Grants

Do you want to expand your oeuvre, make your work more visible, carry out research or conduct experiments? If so, you may be eligible for an Artist Basic grant.

Are you at the beginning of your career as a visual artist and do you have plans for new work? If so, you may be eligible for an Artist Start grant from the Mondriaan Fund.

Do you want to research or develop an exhibition, event or presentation? Do you want to do this, for example, by investigating a particular theme, or through an apprenticeship, travel or working period in the Netherlands or elsewhere? In short, do you want to work on a concrete plan during a specific period? If so, you may be eligible for a Curator Researcher grant.

Do you want to complete a concrete plan within a specific working period? Are you contemplating an apprenticeship or a working period in the Netherlands or another country? If so, you may be eligible for an Artist Project grant.

The Interdisciplinary grant consists of two tracks:

  • One for individual makers based in the Netherlands or the Caribbean part of the Kingdom with at least 1 year of demonstrable professional interdisciplinary practice: a fixed contribution of € 24,900 is available to further develop their interdisciplinary practice over a period of 1 year.
  • One for non-profit cultural organisations with legal personality, based in the Netherlands or the Caribbean part of the Kingdom, that develop projects in which artistic disciplines supported by multiple funds are integrated. The contribution depends on the total project budget: a fixed contribution of € 12,500 is available for a project with a budget of € 15,000 to € 60,000, and a fixed contribution of € 50,000 for a project with a budget of € 60,000 to € 500,000.
