Five persons will be granted with the amount of 30,000 DKK. This may cover travel costs, visas, accommodation, materials, and any expenses at the Indian master’s workshop.
The Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces pays a fee to the Indian master craftsperson.
The project support is paid into your NemKonto shortly after you have received a letter of intent.
When a position has been taken on the list of contenders and recommendations have been made regarding a stay, the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces will ask AIACA to match the Danish artisans with the Indian masters. Then, applicants who have been awarded a grant will receive direct notification about the assignment of a master.
The stay may be freely planned during the indicated period of time for each textile tradition and must be agreed directly with AIACA and the Indian master.
You are responsible for entering into agreements through AIACA about the time of the stay. You are also responsible for planning your travel and your stay in India. Subsequently you must document your stay.
AIACA is responsible for selecting and communicating with the Indian craftmasters.
Awarded grants will be announced on the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces’ website.
Not all travel grants will be awarded if qualified applications are not received.
Students will not be taken into concideration.
Because the travel grants are part of the general culture agreement between India and Denmark 2022-2026, your stay will be presented and communicated in the press and possibly in other connections.
Receivers of the grant are obligated to:
- travel to India and cooperate with the Indian master craftsperson at his or her workshop for two weeks during the period of 1 January 2023 – 15 April 2023
- document your stay with images and text
- communicate your experience from the stay in India in an open workshop that is to be held in the fall of 2023 by your Indian master craftsperson and in cooperation with The Danish Art Workshops
