Open Call: Nominate an artist for exhibition grant

Open Call: Nominate an artist for our exhibition grant

You can now nominate a Skånes-based artist for the Sven and Ellida Hjorts exhibition grant! We are looking for practices that you find relevant and convincing. Your nomination can be long or short, in depth or just a brief statement.

Since 2017, Skånes konstförening annually awards an emerging artist with the Sven and Ellida Hjorts exhibition grant. Former recipients include Hanni Kamaly, LealVeileby, Ikram Abdulkadir, Cia Kanthi, Sana Jarrar, Matilda Tjäder, Stacey de Voe and Simon Ferner.

The grant includes a stipend of 25 000 SE K and a solo exhibition at Skånes konstförening in the beginning of 2026. The recipient is elected by a jury from our board that will contact nominated artists from their shortlist for studio visits in June. The final recipient will be announced during summer 2025.

Please note that only emerging artists based in Skåne can be nominated. Submit your suggestion to info@skaneskonst.se in English or Swedish no later than May 15 2025 and include the following in your email:
– The artist’s contact info and/or email address
– A short statement on why the artist should receive the grant (max. 1000 characters)
– A link to the artist’s website or a PDF portfolio (no private Instagram accounts)
