Funding for exhibitions
The Hessische Kulturstiftung supports non-profit art and cultural institutions in carrying out major scholarly research and education projects as well as temporary exhibitions that invite the public to partake of culture by way of up-to-date educational offers.
The foundation awards funding solely on a pro-rata basis, usually in the form of one third of the project’s overall cost or the amount necessary to cover a funding shortfall.
