Increase in contributions to the Uri Year of Work
The Uri Art and Culture Foundation is offering a four-month Berlin studio for 2018. It is also increasing the work and funding contributions. It expects applications by October 14, 2016.
In June 2016, the cantonal government of Uri approved the continuation of the foundation (2016 to 2019) and the amendment of the foundation agreement and guidelines. From 2016, the foundation's board of trustees will be able to award CHF 30,000 for work and funding contributions, CHF 6,000 more than before.
This year, the Board of Trustees is once again offering a four-month Berlin studio scholarship. In addition to the use of living space, the stay abroad also includes a travel and living allowance. A nine-member board of trustees is responsible for the jury. It is made up of representatives from the various cultural sectors and is elected by the Uri Art Association and the cantonal government. Composer and musician Fabian Müller and theater and musicologist Franz-Xaver Nager sit on the board as music experts.
Since 1982, the Uri Art and Culture Foundation (until 2015 the Heinrich Danioth Foundation) has pledged around 169 contributions amounting to CHF 933,000. This includes six New York and eight Berlin studios, 17 years of work and around 134 grants and project contributions.
