Danish Arts Foundation


The Danish Arts Foundation is the principal Danish government funded arts foundation founded by a special Law on 27 May 1964.
Statens Kunstfond alongside the :da:Statens Kunstråd allocates funds provided by the Ministry of Culture. It is overseen and administered by the :da:Kulturstyrelsen which is an administrative unit of the Ministry of Culture. Danish literature is supported both by the Statens Kunstfond and a larger amount directly by the Ministry of Culture.
In 2014 the Danish Arts Council and the Danish Arts Foundation merged to form one new body, to be known as the Danish Arts Foundation.
