Aspirantordning – personer med funksjonsnedsettelser

This pilot grant program provides funding to employ artists or cultural workers with disabilities in full-time positions for one year. The program aims to counteract structural discrimination by motivating employment of candidates with disabilities in the arts and culture sector. The grant amount of 460,000 NOK must be used entirely to pay the salary of the aspirant, who must be employed under ordinary conditions. Professional arts and cultural organizations can apply to hire an aspirant. The position can be related to artistic, technical, or administrative functions across all art forms and creative industries. The application must be prepared in collaboration with a named candidate and reflect the candidate's own professional motivation for the aspirant period. The goal is to provide the aspirant with tasks that ensure professional and artistic development aligned with the organization's goals and needs, thereby strengthening the aspirant's future employment opportunities in the arts and culture sector.
