Statens Kunstfond

Statens Kunstfond is the principal Danish state funded arts foundation founded by a special Law on 27 May 1964.[1][2]

Statens Kunstfond alongside the da:Statens Kunstråd[3] (English sometimes State Arts Council now Danish Agency for Culture) allocates funds provided by the Ministry of Culture (da:Kulturministeriet). It is overseen and administered by the da:Kulturstyrelsen (Danish Cultural Authority) 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.[4][5][6]
