Grants

North Norwegian Art Centre is responsible for two grants schemes: Regional grants from BKH and Nordland County Council's travel grants for visual artists and artisans.

Regional grants from BKH

Regional grants from BKH aim to strengthen the regional art field in connection with the art centre's activities. Artists with ties to the region can apply for funding from the scheme. North Norwegian Art Centre administers approved grants in accordance with guidelines and approved applications.

Nordland County Council's travel grant

North Norwegian Art Centre is the secretariat for Nordland county's travel grant, which is announced to visual artists and artisans in Nordland every year in December, for trips the following year.

The main aim of the scheme is to stimulate further development within the subject areas through study trips to seek out new international professional environments. From 2020, domestic travel was also opened up. The awarding committee consists of one representative from Northern Norwegian Visual Artists and one from Norwegian Craftsmen Northern Norway.
