Are you working to develop new visions or narratives about our cultural heritage, for example through an exceptional presentation, a new presentation arrangement, layout or structure, or a thematic collaboration? If so, you may be eligible for a Heritage Innovation grant.
Museums and cultural heritage institutions that manage collections with open public presentation objectives, including archives, in the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom can apply. Applications may also be submitted by cultural organisations focusing on the heritage sector in the Netherlands and/or Caribbean part of the Kingdom, provided that the proposed plan involves collaboration with one or more collection-holding heritage institutions in these regions, with a focus on presenting cultural heritage.
Through the Heritage Innovation grant, the Mondriaan Fund supports innovation in the heritage sector. To this end, the fund offers grants for research tracks or projects that lead to substantive innovation for the applying institution itself, or for the regional, national and/or international heritage sector. Audience reach and/or knowledge sharing are key considerations within this grant.
Deadline for application is 17 September, before 16:00 (Dutch time zone) / 10:00 (Caribbean time zone).
