Assistant grant

An assistant grant makes it possible to develop your work together with a more experienced colleague for a period of 5–10 months. You yourself contact the artist you want to assist and agree on the tasks. With such a grant, you work 50 percent as an assistant and can use the remaining time for your own artistic work. The grant is designed for professional artists in the field of visual arts or design who want to develop their artistic practice through mentorship and hands-on learning from an established artist. Recipients must be residents in Sweden or practice most of their art in Sweden, and cannot be students for more than 50 percent of their time when the award decision is made. The assistant grant provides financial support to enable emerging artists to gain valuable experience while continuing their own creative work.
