Bildende Kunstneres Hjelpefond is an organization that works to support artists through various scholarships and grants. The fund focuses on the development and dissemination of art, and offers specific grants for this purpose. In addition to financial support, they award prizes such as the John Savio Prize and the Autumn Exhibition Prize, which recognize outstanding contributions in the field of art.
The organization also has a special commitment to Sami art and culture, and has recently introduced a new upper income limit for its grant schemes. Artists can apply for support via a dedicated application portal, and the guidelines for grants are regularly updated to adapt to changes in the arts environment. Through its activities, the Bildende Kunstneres Hjelpefond contributes to promoting artistic development and making artists in Norway visible.
