Congress Grants

Since 2012 the Friends of CODART Foundation has supported curators from financially challenged institutions to participate in the annual CODART congress. CODART-members can apply for a grant that will help them cover the congress fee, two nights of accommodation in the congress hotel, and/or travel expenses for traveling to the congress location.
Applications are reviewed by a selection committee consisting of two members of the board of the Friends of CODART Foundation.

In 2023 the Friends of CODART Foundation partnered with the Cultuurfonds to facilitate one extra Curators Stipend. For this purpose €25.000 was donated to the Cultuurfonds.

The stipend enables the museum to hire a junior curator for the duration of six months, in which the senior curator in which the senior curator can devote him or herself to research, or can receive support from the junior in another project. At the same time, a junior curator is enabled to gain experience working in a museum.
