Description

Prerequisites

• The project must focus on the visual arts.
• The artistic concept must be clearly in the foreground; the possibility of acquiring works of art in principle does not call eligibility into question. The concept will be professionally evaluated by a jury established by the Berufsverband Bildender Künstlerinnen und Künstler Landesverband Bayern e.V. (BBK Landesverband). The criteria for the professional evaluation will be determined by the BBK Landesverband in agreement with the State Ministry for Science and Art.
• At least one professional, living artist working in Bavaria must be involved in the project. If several artists are involved, the majority must work in Bavaria. Professionalism will be determined in the course of the professional assessment.
• The minimum exhibition duration is one month.
• The exhibition rooms or spaces must be provided free of charge. Access to the rooms or space may be restricted by opening hours or an entrance control. However, entrance fees may not be charged.
• A grant from state funds requires that the project be of supraregional importance. This is determined in the expert opinion. Indications of the supra-regional nature of the project are, for example, grants from the county and/or district.
• Events whose total eligible expenses do not exceed the amount of 2,000 euros are not funded (de minimis limit).

Procedure

The application can be submitted informally to the BBK National Association with the required information and documents. It must be signed by an authorized representative.

The BBK Landesverband submits the grant application to the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts for the funding to be passed on to the recipients of the final grants.

The BBK Landesverband receives a written notice of approval from the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts, authorizing it to pass on the grant to the final recipients.

Deadlines

The application must be submitted to the BBK Landesverband by January 1 of the event year at the latest.

The BBK Landesverband submits the grant application for the funding to be passed on to the recipients of the final grant to the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts by March 1 of the year of the event at the latest.
