Ole Staxen Fonden (the Ole Staxen Foundation) is a non-profit art foundation established in 2024 with the purpose of providing support for emerging artistic projects and initiatives as well as for new artists and innovative ideas. Every summer the foundation invites visual artist to the Residency Rævehaugen, north of Copenhagen, which consists of two studios: A spacious atelier and a professional workshop for ceramics.
The Ole Staxen Foundation not only emphasizes experience and contributions to arts and culture, but also creativity, effort and originality. The foundation provides support to artists in all media, and residency stays can be applied for by artists residing both in and outside Denmark. Artists are invited to apply with either specific projects or submit applications based on their practice and coming developments.
The Ole Staxen Foundation opens applications for grants and residency stays once a year which will be awarded in early spring. All applications are assessed by the foundation’s board.
