The City of Chur awards a work grant of CHF 10,000 to artists for the development of cultural projects or works. Applications are possible until August 9, 2026.

Every year, the city of Chur announces a work grant for professional artists. The grant, worth CHF 10,000, is awarded to a single person or several projects, depending on the number and quality of submissions. The aim of the municipal work grant is to provide financial support to artists who are working on developing the content of cultural projects or works. Funding is provided for work and development processes such as research, conception, artistic consolidation and the development of new projects.

Applications are open to professional artists who have a connection to the city of Chur - be it through residence, citizenship or a stay of several years. The application dossier with letter of motivation, CV / short biography, work documentation and project description must be submitted by August 9, 2026 to the Cultural Office of the City of Chur, Poststrasse 37, 7000 Chur or by email (PDF, max. 5MB) to kulturfachstelle@chur.ch.

The applications received will be reviewed by the cultural department and submitted to the municipal cultural commission for consultation. Based on their recommendation, the city council decides on the award of the work grant. The decision will be announced in September 2026.
