About Stichting Stokroos

Stichting Stokroos supports visual artists, designers, and craft practitioners, with a clear interest in makers who are combining tradition and innovation, materiality, and socially or collaboratively engaged practice. It acts as a springboard for emerging and established talent in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Caribbean parts of the Kingdom, and Suriname, often backing projects that involve research, experimentation, new work, or multi-voiced artistic collaboration. The foundation also offers a residency pathway in Switzerland, suggesting a strong interest in context-specific development and deepening artistic practice.

Competition is selective, with limited awards made each round.
