The Danish Arts Foundation is inviting applications for its Literary Events and Projects that focus on Danish literature and authors, as well as mentor support and network support for translators.
Purpose
One of the purposes of the Danish Arts Foundation is to promote access to Danish literature abroad. This is why the Danish Arts Foundation’s Committee for Literary Project Funding wants to strengthen high-quality events and initiatives abroad, and which focus on Danish literature.
Funding Information
The size of the support varies and depends on the concrete project, but only in a few cases will the support amount to more than DKK 100,000 for a project, also based on the consideration that the art support must benefit as many applicants as possible.
