Three-month artist grant
The three-month artist grant is intended for professional artists in Espoo irrespective of art form. The grant can be applied for artistic work and related costs. The purpose of the three-month artist grants is primarily to support Espoo-based professional artists who are in the early stages of their careers.
However, grant decisions are discretionary and the grant may also be awarded to an artist who has been working in the profession for a longer period of time in accordance with the assessment criteria.
The artist grant awarded by the City of Espoo corresponds with the artist grants awarded by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. The grant amounts to EUR 2196.30 per month in 2025.
Before applying, please review the Assessment of cultural grant applications. For more information on artist grants, please send e-mail kulttuuriavustukset@espoo.fi. In addition, two telephone hours are reserved: 14th of March from 10 to 11 and 19th of March from 13 to 14 (Specialist Katja Koskela +358 40 6365236).
The recipient of the artist grant must prepare a free-form report on the work carried out under the plan presented in the application for the grant period. You can find instructions on preparing a report on the webpage To the grant recipient.
