A. C. Houen Grant
The A. C. Houen Grant ( no, A. C. Houens legat) was a grant that awarded funds to Norwegian artists. The grant was established by the Norwegian businessman and philanthropist Anton Christian Houen (1823–1894). There is some uncertainty about some of the awards that were associated with this fund, including whether the painter Astri Welhaven Heiberg received the grant in the 1920s.

It was an extension of the Norwegian Artists' Travel and Education Fund ( no, De norske Kunstneres Reise- og Uddannelses-Fond), which was created by Houen in 1878. The grant's rules did not exclude repeated awards to the same artist; Ragnvald Hjerlow, Harald Dal, and Arne Lofthus are among the artists that received the grant several times. The grant awarded scholarships by application, which could be enclosed with recommendations from oth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
