GRANTS OFFERED BY
THE KRESS FOUNDATION
THE
CARE AND PRESENTATION OF EUROPEAN ART
EUROPEAN
PRESERVATION PROGRAM
Evolving from seven decades
of support for the physical condition of European cultural
heritage, the Kress Foundation sponsors a program for the
preservation, conservation, and interpretation of European
art and architecture in situ, administered by the World
Monuments Fund. Competitive grants are awarded for the conservation
of buildings, groups of buildings, and works of art in an
architectural context (e.g. mural paintings, sculptures
that are part of an architectural program, and other decoration)
of recognized artistic quality. Criteria include significance,
urgency or timeliness, and capacity to benefit the public.
Priority is given to sites on the World Monuments Watch
List of 100 Most Endangered Sites, and to sites facing threats
or emergencies that might result in loss of historical fabric
unless addressed immediately. The program also encourages
cooperation and collaboration between institutions and organizations
in Europe and America.
Funds are awarded
for projects in these areas.
