Funding for publications
The Hessische Kulturstiftung supports research and knowledge transfer by aiding non-profit art and culture institutions in the realization of scholarly documentation projects, inventory catalogues, and exhibition catalogues.
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.
