How to apply

Frame’s grants

With our grants we support international exhibitions, publications, participation in art fairs as well as art professionals’ international travels. On this site, we provide information and instructions about applying for grants and how they can be spent.

Frame awards grants to promote and support Finnish visual arts in the following fields of contemporary art: fine art, photographic art, media art, art handicraft, comics art, performance art and sound art. 

Frame awards two types of grants: a travel grant that can be applied for at any time, and a project grant that has two application periods per year. The travel grant is intended for artists, art experts and workgroups. The project grant is intended for organisations for international exhibitions and art fairs. In addition, artists and organisations can apply for a project grant for international art publications.
