The Prince Claus Fund Library series
The Prince Claus Fund Library series (tag: library imprint) was launched in 1998 with the mission of publishing richly illustrated works on art and culture that are both unique and distinctive in terms of subject and social engagement. In this way, the Fund facilitated the publication of books on subjects that were never or hardly ever researched, elucidated or discussed. The books in this series are published in English or in combination with another language. The books were published in co-operation with a wide range of international publishing houses. This collection is a valuable source of unique information about international culture and development.
Supported books
Apart from the books published within the Prince Claus Fund Library series, the Fund supports other publications (tag: supported) that are considered to be of importance to the international field of Culture and Development. The Fund believes that freedom of thought and expression are essential for development and with supporting a variety of book publications the Fund seeks to contribute to independent media and quality journalism worldwide. Should you wish to ask for support please check the applications part of this website for more information.
Award Books
The Prince Claus Awards Book (tag: inhouse) is published once a year to present the Prince Claus Awards. This English-language publication contains laudations written for each of the laureates, the report of the Awards Committee and a contribution of one of the Fund’s Honorary Chairmen.
