The New Carlsberg Foundation was established by a Charter dated 20 January 1902 enacted by the brewer Carl Jacobsen and his wife Ottilia Jacobsen with the object of working to promote art in the founders' native land of Denmark.
Board of ManagementThe Foundation is administered by a Board of Management of three members: Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen, Chairman. Morten Kyndrup, professor, dr. phil. Maria Fabricius Hansen, associate professor, dr. phil. Applications and other correspondence requiring a decision on the part of the Board of Management should be addressed to the New Carlsberg Foundation Board of Management and not to any individual member of that Board. Aims and Charter of foundationThe aim of the New Carlsberg Foundation is to support the New Carlsberg Glyptotek and other Danish art museums, to promote the study of art and art history and in general to develop and fulfil the appreciation of and need for art in Denmark. The Foundation's income consists partly of the returns on investment in a capital fund (which amounted to DKK 320 million in 2008) and partly of a share in the annual proceeds from shares held in Carlsberg A/S. The annual sum available for grants is approximately DKK 60 million. The New Carlsberg Foundation CharterHow to apply for support from the New Carlsberg FoundationA general rule is that applicants should familiarise themselves with the New Carlsberg Foundation Charter and/or the yearbooks (Årbøger) referred to on this page. The New Carlsberg Foundation has no specifically approved form of application, and there is no stated last date for the submission of applications as applications are considered by the Board of Management as they arrive. Nor does the Foundation have any specific rules as to the form an application should take. It is, however, expected that, as a minimum, an application for support should contain:
E-mail applications are not accepted. The following is a general summary of the area covered by the New Carlsberg Foundation: The New Carlsberg Foundation provides support for the day-to-day running of the New Carlsberg Glyptotek, but not that of other museums. The Foundation funds the expansion of the Glyptotek collections and, on application, provides support for the acquisition of art by other art museums both in Copenhagen and the provinces. The Foundation regularly makes purchases of works by living Danish artists and donates works of art thus purchased to public institutions, schools, hospitals, public spaces and the like. The Foundation provides support for art research, partly in the form of subventions for the publication of books on art and partly by means of grants to art historians to enable them to travel for the purpose of research. The Foundation supports fine arts, applied arts, architecture and ornamental gardening, whereas cultural history, literature, music, cinema and theatre fall outside its purview. Support cannot be given to decorative projects for which an artist has been appointed. No reasons are given for the rejection of applications. AwardsThe New Carlsberg Foundation makes 3 awards for which application can not be made:
Apart from The New Carlsberg Foundation Travel Award, support is not provided for artists' study tours. YearbooksThe New Carlsberg Foundation is a specialised section of the Carlsberg Foundation. The annual report of the New Carlsberg Foundation accordingly forms part of the Carlsberg Foundation Yearbook. In the section Årsskrifter you can see the New Carlsberg Foundation annual reports in PDF format from the year 2000 and up till now. |
