The Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation awards around 40 residency grants in the fields of visual arts, literature and experimental composition each year. A total of around 800 artists have been fellows since the Künstlerdorf was founded in 1989. The grants are linked to a stay in the Künstlerdorf which can last between two and six months each. They are open for application without any restrictions in regards to nationality or age. Grant holders are selected by expert juries, which are organized on a rotating basis.
The program of the Künstlerdorf offers opportunities to gain insights into artistic processes and to have a personal exchange with fellow artists, writers and musicians. In addition to the ongoing events, the Künstlerdorf organizes the annual curator’s program CAP, with the aim of developing contemporary strategies and structures for artistic productions and negotiating implementation issues.
Residencies of the year, the ongoing program and the curatorial project are documented in our annual publication. Artist’s editions are made to support the work of the Künstlerdorf. In order to facilitate the exchange of grant holders beyond their residency, the alumni program offers the option of visiting the Künstlerdorf as a guest or participating in later projects. This option is available by arrangement or by invitation.
