Funding and other support
The Institute continually looks for projects and ideas that fit in our programming together with our partners. We currently run the following schemes, which aim at supporting the mobility and internationalisation of Finnish and Finland-based artists, researchers and professionals:
Below Zero art award
Below Zero is a contemporary art prize awarded every other year to a Finnish or Finland-based contemporary artist. The award is worth £15,000 (approximately €17,000) and includes mentoring, material costs, a one-month residency in London, and an exhibition at Beaconsfield Gallery in London.
Open Calls
We regularly search for interesting projects with Open Calls. Please follow our social media channels and newsletter for updates on current opportunities.
Open Proposal
Have you got a project idea and would like to collaborate with us? Please send us your idea and we will have a look if we can support your project. Please note that we are not able to provide funding for new projects taking place in 2025.
