The four calls for applications for spring 2024 have just opened!
1° Publication grants
Each year, the Foundation awards a grant either for the publication of a doctoral thesis or for a publication that represents a significant advance in the fields of European art history (14th-18th centuries), conservation-restoration or visual arts technology.
2° Aid for a study prior to conservation-restoration treatment
The Foundation will subsidise a study prior to conservation-restoration treatment of a work representative of the history of European art from the 14th to the 18th centuries. The work must be carried out by a qualified Belgian restorer and must take into account the authenticity value of the object as well as its historical and aesthetic dimensions.
3° Assistance to a public or religious institution for the acquisition, conservation, restoration or enhancement of a work of art
Each year, the Fondation Périer-D’Ieteren allocates an amount of between €50,000 and €70,000 to one or more projects for the acquisition, conservation, restoration or enhancement of a work (15th-18th centuries) intended for or belonging to a Belgian public or religious institution. The project must demonstrate the artistic or historical value of the work and must clearly highlight the enhancement policy that will be developed once the work has been acquired and/or restored. In the case of restoration, the work must be carried out by a qualified restorer working in Belgium.
4° Grant for a doctoral thesis
The Foundation awards a doctoral grant for research carried out in the field of the History of European Art of the 14th-18th centuries or the Conservation-Restoration of European Art (14th-18th centuries) from a practical, critical or historical approach. This one-year scholarship may be renewed three times.
Applications must be submitted by 30 June 2024. All the specific information about these grants can be found on our website.
