Deadline: 31-Oct-2025
The Finnish Cultural Foundation is requesting applications for the Kirpilä Art Collection Research Grant from the Juhani Kirpilä Fund in the October 2025 application round.
This grant offers a unique opportunity for post-doctoral researchers to explore the rich resources of the Kirpilä Art Collection. Candidates can focus their studies on the nuances of art collecting, examine private collections, investigate home museums, or delve into the works of artists represented within the collection. Researchers will have access to archival materials and art pieces on-site, supporting detailed and hands-on research projects.
The application is open to PhDs for post-doctoral research. It is not intended for research groups or organisations. The research may relate to art collecting, art collectors’ collections, home museums, or artists represented in the Kirpilä Art Collection. The grant can be applied for work and for possible research expenses. Multi-year research plans are given priority. While the Kirpilä Art Collection provides researchers with the opportunity to conduct archival and art research on site, it does not provide permanent workspace.
Applicants are required to submit their proposals through the Online Application Service during the October application period. All required attachments for the application are specified in the Application Guidelines for Grants.
The October 2025 application round is open until 31 October at 4 pm.
