The Danish Arts Foundation aims to spread the arts to a wide audience in Denmark and to promote Danish art internationally. The Foundation is involved in the residencies in terms of funding. This means that all decisions for awarding of a residency in any of the places are made exclusively by the individual venues. All the residencies operate with regular open calls. The Danish Arts Foundation supports different kinds of residencies for artists in different locations.
