Kirsten Overgaard Hjortholm Olsen og Gunnar Steen Jacobsens Familiefond har netop uddelt sine første otte legater på hver en kvart million kroner. Fonden ønsker gennem sin støtte til det aarhusianske kunst- og kulturliv at skabe et smukkere Aarhus.
Nu bliver Aarhus endnu smukkere. Den nye kunstfond, Kirsten Overgaard Hjortholm Olsen og Gunnar Steen Jacobsens Familiefond, har netop uddelt to millioner kroner i form af legater til otte forskellige kunst- og kulturprojekter.
De otte projekter er:
De 8 legatmodtagere er udvalgt blandt 71 forskellige ansøgninger.
Kirsten og Gunnar fonden blev stiftet i slutningen af 2020 og vil i de kommende 30 år uddele fire årlige legater á godt 250.000 kr. Fondens formue var på stiftelsestidspunktet 45 millioner kroner.
Fonden prioriterer ansøgninger inden for musik, skulptur, billedkunst og landart. Det er ikke et krav, at ansøgere bor i Aarhus for at søge fonden, men fonden støtter kunst- og kulturlivet i Aarhus, og derfor skal ansøgere argumentere for, hvordan ens værk, projekt eller initiativ kan bidrage til et rigere kunst- og kulturliv i Aarhus.
For begge stiftere var det vigtigt, at livet, kunsten og musikken vakte følelser. Kirsten Hjortholm var i en lang årrække overlæge på Aarhus Universitetshospital. Sideløbende drev parret gården Asmusgård i Lystrup, som var hendes barndomshjem. Det var også på Asmusgård, at Gunnar Steen Jacobsen i 1986 sammen med sin mangeårige ven, advokat Hans Kjellund, etablerede vinfirmaet Bichel Vine.
