Thurgau continues to support creative artists
The cantonal government of Thurgau is releasing a contribution of CHF 250,000 for research grants for artists in 2022. It intends to continue the targeted cantonal measures in the third year of coronavirus.
The research grants awarded by the Cultural Foundation of the Canton of Thurgau in 2020 and 2021 have proven their worth as a supplementary measure, according to the canton's press release. The cantonal government has therefore decided to continue them in 2022. The awards are explicitly not linked to an exhibition or performances and cover all the disciplines supported by the Canton of Thurgau.
The Canton of Thurgau Cultural Foundation has been commissioned by the Canton of Thurgau Cultural Office to advertise and award 40 research grants for artists in the Canton of Thurgau in 2022. Professional artists with a connection to the canton of Thurgau will be given the opportunity to further develop their artistic work in a future-oriented manner.
A research grant includes the payment of a fee of CHF 6,000. Support is provided in particular for the further development of artistic work and the examination of format changes that expand the work. A jury made up of members of the Arts Council will decide on the awarding of the grants.
