About Fondation Art Explora

Fondation Art Explora supports access to arts and culture for broad public audiences, with a strong emphasis on projects that renew the relationship between artists and people. Its giving centers on artist residencies, creative experimentation, and public-engagement initiatives that make art more widely shared across Europe and selected international sites. The foundation appears to favor programs run through partnerships with cultural institutions rather than open, general-purpose grantmaking.

Giving Approach

Primarily program-based and partnership-driven, with a mix of open competitions/prizes and invite-only residency opportunities. Support includes a small number of prize awards and curated residency placements rather than frequent open-call operating grants.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the foundation’s program pages closely for deadline-specific calls: the European Prize has an open application cycle, while the Paris residency is invite-only. Applicants should tailor proposals to audience engagement, artistic renewal, and experimentation, and should be prepared to apply through partner institutions or program-specific portals rather than via a general grant application.
