In 2015 the State of Tyrol will be setting up the funding provision “Art in Public Space” – endowed with 80,000 euros – for the eighth time.
This action serves to fund both permanent art projects and temporary interventions into publicly accessible space.
The action “Art in Public Space” promotes projects that take place in the Tyrol, which initiate further examination of the specific conditions of the locations/sites selected in each case.
Following an award by the jury, the prerequisite for state funding is the submission of every possible necessary permission for the project’s realization, as well as agreement from the authorities responsible for the location(s) of the project submitted. Selected projects must be realized within two years after the agreement.
Excluded are: funding in retrospect or the acquisition of an already realized artwork, classical “Art in Architecture” projects, publications that do not form part of a project, and events in public space like concerts or theatre productions with no link of content to the funding action.
The funding provision is directed towards international artists, artist collectives, curators, art or artist societies working in the field of contemporary visual art, and municipalities insofar as they appear as the carriers of art projects.
The action “Art in Public Space of the State of Tyrol” is endowed with a sum of 80,000 euros in the year 2015. According to the jury’s recommendations, the level of state funding of projects recommended for realization by this action can amount to up to 100% of the overall fundable cost.
