Drammen kommunes kunstnerstipend

Drammen kommunes kunstnerstipend is a municipal artist grant that can be awarded to individual professional artists or groups of artists. The recipient receives the title 'Artist of the Year - Drammen Municipality' along with the award year. The grant aims to provide professional artists with opportunities for personal development by enabling them to gain inspiration and expertise for their artistic work. The grant supports quality, innovation, research, accessibility, and breadth within the arts and culture sector. Recipients must submit a brief report within one year of receiving the grant explaining how it was used. If the grant is not used for its intended purpose, repayment may be required. The municipality formally presents the grant at a ceremony held at Drammen City Hall, where cultural prizes and stipends are also awarded.
