Funds
To make a residency at EKWC as accessible as possible, EKWC works closely with the following funds and organisations in the Netherlands:
Het Cultuurfonds https://www.cultuurfonds.nl
Stichting Van Achterbergh Domhof https://www.vanachterbergh.nl
Stichting Stokroos https://stokroos.nl/home
After the selection procedure, we nominate candidates to Het Cultuurfonds, Stichting Van Achterberg Domhof and Stichting Stokroos. This nomination applies only to selected candidates who live and work in the Netherlands. In making this nomination, we take into account the various criteria of the different funds (including age, nationality and years of professional practice). EKWC makes the nomination, but the fund has the final say. This selection takes place in the first quarter of the calendar year.
Partnerships
We also collaborate with the following organisations, which support one or two residencies each year or for a specific period:
Spain:
AC/E Acción Cultural Española (Sociedad Mercantil Estatal de Acción Cultural, S.A). https://www.accioncultural.es/en (1 residency)
Taiwan:
Ministry of Culture https://www.moc.gov.tw/en/Default.aspx (2 residencies)
France:
France-Netherlands Cultural Fund Foundation / Nouveau Grand Tour in the Netherlands. https://institutfrancais.nl/nl/ (1 residency)
Separate application procedures are organised for these Spanish, French and Taiwanese residencies, in collaboration with EKWC. For example, the French residents are selected in the first few months of the year, and there is an annual Spanish Open Call in May.
