Residency Fellowship for Artists and Writers

Mar. 15, 2024

Schloss Wiepersdorf invites writers and artists from Germany and abroad to apply for a fellowship, until April 15th, 2024. Those working in the areas of literature; science/Romanticism; science/topics focusing on the previously divided Germany; fine arts; and composition are eligible to apply.

Applicants must have completed an artistic or academic course of study, be working on a doctorate, or have distinguished themselves through publications or long-standing professional artistic or academic work, and must be able provide samples of their work to substantiate this. German or English proficiency is required of all applicants. Basic German language skills would be helpful for a successful residence.

Decisive for the awarding of a fellowship are the quality of the applicant’s previous artistic or academic work and the proposed project. In addition to room and board at Schloss Wiepersdorf, all fellows also receive a monthly cash stipend of €1200 and a one-time grant of €480 to cover material expenses.

To the extent that capacity is available, a studio will be made available to fellows in fine arts. Visa costs will be covered for fellows from countries requiring a visa for Germany.

Artists and writers can either apply for an individual fellowship or a collaborative fellowship with one or two other people with whom they will work together on their artistic productions.
