On 2 February, Fundación Botín launches the 23rd edition of its Arts Grants and the 11th edition of its Curatorial Studies Grants, the application periods for which will finalise on 30 April and 8 May, respectively.

The Art Grants, which are international in scope and have considerable projection, are aimed at helping artists of any nationality in training, research and personal projects in the sphere of artistic creation. The chosen artists will conclude their scholarship programme by taking part in our Itinerarios exhibition, featuring work produced during the grants period, to be held at Fundación Botín in Santander, and with the publication of a catalogue raisonné.

Persons aged 23 to 40 may apply for a training grant, and there is no age limit for research and personal projects. The grants are worth 16,000 EUR when there is no change of country of residence, and 24,000 EUR if completing the scholarship programme implies relocating to another country, to cover travel, accommodation, living, studio rental and other expenses.

To apply for this aid, kindly complete the online form via the website between 2 February and 30 April.

Fundación Botín also invites applications for two grants abroad for specialist training in Curatorial Studies, aimed at building comprehensive professionals skills in the theory and techniques of museum management and exhibitions organisation. The training must be oriented towards contemporary art (from the avant-garde to the present). Exceptionally, it will be possible to request an extension at the chosen training location.

The aid is to be used by holders of diplomas, degrees or post-graduate qualifications in Fine Arts, History of Art, Philosophy and Aesthetics, Literature or Humanities, or by art critics or professionals from the art world with proven qualifications in this sphere, aged 23 to 40.

To apply for this aid, kindly complete the online registration via the website between 2 February and 8 May 2015.
