Chairman Lene ter Haar: "With the Hustinx' Materiaalgift we want to give our visual artists in the city a boost in a quick and targeted manner. With a nice sum of money to keep on making, but also with the message that especially in times of crisis, they make an indispensable contribution to our society because they give shape to that for which there are no words."
Edmond Hustinx (1898-1984) was a soap manufacturer, inventor, artist, patron and an interesting human being. As one of the first in the Netherlands, he was already exploring the possibilities of using waste materials to make new products around 1920. There are also 1116 notarial registrations to his name, including inventions, experiments and suggestions. Since 1961, the Hustinx Foundation has been using the bequest to promote the arts and sciences in Maastricht, either on request or on its own initiative such as with various prizes (Henriette Hustinx Prizes, Edmond Hustinx Prize for playwrights and for science, Peter Debye Prizes), or this Hustinx' Material Gift.
To be eligible for a contribution from the Edmond Hustinx Foundation, the visual artist must be artistically active in terms of content and be embedded in the professional practice of visual art in Maastricht/Euregio/Netherlands (such as having completed an art course or a stipend from a Dutch cultural fund). All applications are assessed against the formal conditions that are stated in the explanation of the scheme concerned and in the general conditions regarding subsidies. Applications that are submitted incomplete cannot be assessed and will be delayed or not processed. No correspondence can be entered into about the results.
