Frame is seeking applications for “Project Grant for Contemporary Art Organisations to Exhibit Work by Finnish Artists Abroad” to strengthen the international position of Finnish contemporary art by supporting the presentation of Finnish art abroad.
The purpose of grants awarded by Frame is based on the strategy of the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture and Frame’s own strategy.
Purposes
- Project grants can be awarded for exhibitions held abroad when one or more Finnish artists or artists based in Finland participate in the exhibition. Exhibition activities include, inter alia, appearances by the artist or presentation of their work in a solo or group exhibition, biennale, triennale, festival or other contemporary art event.
- Project grants can only be applied for to cover the following expenses of Finnish or Finland-based artists:
- installation expenses
- travel and accommodation expenses
- transport and insurance of artworks

- general equipment or software purchases
- the expenses of foreign artists not based in Finland
- events or exhibitions in Finland
Eligibility Criteria
