Fondation Bea Pour Jeunes Artistes supports emerging artists under 30 at the start of their careers, with a strong emphasis on helping them develop both their creative practice and the professional tools they need to grow. Their support is highly selective and often based on a “coup de cœur” approach, favoring young creators in French-speaking Switzerland and Valais working in contemporary art, live music, performance, visual arts, and new media. The foundation appears especially interested in artists who are ready for a concrete boost—through one-time funding, prizes, or practical support tied to releases, performances, or artistic production.
Small, ponctual one-off grants and awards, reviewed continuously throughout the year rather than through fixed cycles. Selection appears invite-like and curator-driven (“coup de cœur”), with support often linked to specific artistic moments or needs rather than large multi-year funding.

Applications can be submitted year-round and are reviewed on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed deadline to wait for. Applicants should be young artists under 30 based in or connected to French-speaking Switzerland or Valais, and should present a clear artistic project or professional need that matches the foundation’s interest in contemporary, performance-based, or francophone music work.
