Stiftelsen Lásságámmi supports the cultural and spiritual legacy of Nils-Aslak Valkeapää (Áillohaš) by operating the Lásságámmi artist-and-researcher residence in Skibotn. Its primary support is not cash grantmaking, but access to subsidized residency space for artists and researchers working within Sami or other Indigenous cultural contexts, including creative practice, research, and traditional crafts. The foundation appears to prioritize applicants whose work engages Indigenous identity, cultural preservation, and artistic or scholarly exchange, and it welcomes both Norwegian and international applicants.
Offers a residency-based support model rather than traditional grants: subsidized accommodation and workspace at Lásságámmi in Skibotn, typically for stays during the following calendar year. Applications are reviewed annually, with a September 1 deadline, and the program appears to be competitive and program-specific rather than open-ended funding.
Apply for the residency by the annual September 1 deadline for the following year. Strong applications should clearly show a Sami or Indigenous focus, explain the creative or research plan for the residency period, and demonstrate how the stay at Lásságámmi will support cultural, artistic, or scholarly work. International applicants are eligible, so non-Norwegian candidates can apply if their project fits the residency’s mission.
