Apply for a Travel Grant supported by Saastamoinen Foundation, Helsinki
CIMAM expects to award 4 travel grants to Finnish professionals funded by Saastamoinen Foundation, Helsinki to support the attendance of contemporary art curators, directors, and museum professionals from all around the world at CIMAM’s 2023 Annual Conference titled "The Co-Creative Museum: Social Agency, Ethics, and Heritage" will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 9 to 11 November 2023.
Eligibility
Grants are addressed to modern and contemporary art museum directors and curators in need of financial help to attend CIMAM’s Annual Conference. Researchers and independent curators whose field of research and specialization is contemporary art theory, collections, and museums, and most of their field of professional activity is related to the functions of an art museum, are also eligible.
Applicants should not be involved in any kind of commercial or for-profit activity.
While professionals of all career levels are encouraged to apply, priority is given to junior directors and curators (with less than 10 years of experience). Candidates who have previously received CIMAM grants from the same grant contributor may only be considered for a new grant after 3 years since the previous grant was awarded – unless the grant received was online. In that case, they are eligible to apply again.
The deadline to apply is June 11 at 00:00 hrs. CEST.
