This fund is dedicated to artists worldwide.
The Prince Claus Fund was established on 6 September 1996 as a tribute to HRH Prince Claus’s dedication to culture and his belief in its role in the development of all societies.
The Prince Claus art fund supports honours and connects artists and cultural practitioners in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe, especially where cultural expression is under pressure.
Since its founding, the Fund has created opportunities for connection and exchange, stimulated cultural expression and preserved cultural heritage in a variety of ways. We support artists and cultural practitioners through a sequence of three different Awards designed to address the specific needs at a crucial stage of a creative career.
