Funding from Arts Council and Helge Ax:son Johnson

Tuesday 5 August 2025

Just before summer, ELNA secured two more significant pieces of funding. The Swedish Arts Council (Kulturrådet) awarded us 210,000 SEK, and the Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation granted 80,000 SEK. This support enables the culmination of our project's Act 3, where we commission the full version of the ELNA website from web developer Venue CMS.
