About This Opportunity
**The next application round will open on 15 September 2025 (4:00 PM Switzerland) and will close once 500 applications have been received.**
The Gwaertler Grant supports work in the arts from all over the world that seeks to make a concrete difference to the context in which it is presented. The grant is specifically geared towards practitioners in all of the arts who are getting started on a project and need support for a wide **range of activities**, such as:
* archival research
* connecting with people from other disciplines
* active fieldwork
* cross-cultural collaboration
* conducting interviews
* taking courses
* organising workshops
* experimenting with techniques
* voluntary apprenticeships
* durational exercises
* and more
**Gwaertler Stiftung is a Swiss artist-run foundation** that wants to support artistic endeavours that present new perspectives and are in the process of carving out a singular trail to get there. They seek practitioners who question **not only society but also themselves**, who take nothing for granted and **whose independence and inventiveness may cause them to fall outside conventional funding categories**. They place value on **process and research** with the belief that art is essential to the sustainability and development of a diverse cultural environment and thus enriches a shared society.
