Visuell kunst – publikasjoner og manusutvikling

This grant program supports the production and dissemination of scholarly publications or manuscript development in visual contemporary art. The program is administered by the Arts Council Norway (Kulturrådet) and aims to strengthen the production and dissemination of publications that present and/or analyze current issues within contemporary art (visual art, photography, and crafts) and art theory. The grant can cover production of scholarly art publications such as artist books, photobooks, major exhibition catalogs, monographs, and art theory texts. It also supports manuscript development for longer analytical texts about contemporary art over 1 to 3 months (35,000 NOK per month), and dissemination of scholarly art publications and projects that contribute to the development of the art book field, including distribution initiatives, dissemination initiatives, development projects and competence-enhancing measures. Applications are accepted from artists, curators, text authors, publishers, exhibition venues and other publishers. Both private individuals and private/public institutions, organizations and other entities can apply.
