What does the grant offer?
The Senator for Culture covers studio costs for the duration of the grant and provides the artist with a monthly stipend of 600 euros to support their artistic work. These funds are not intended to cover living expenses but rather to support the costs associated with the artist’s creative work. In addition, the Senator for Culture contributes to the costs of the small final presentation.

Who can apply?
Artists who live and work in Bremen and who successfully completed a degree in art at an art academy or comparable institution no more than three years ago are eligible to apply.

Selection Process
Scholarship recipients are selected by a jury. The jury consists of the artistic director of the Künstler:innenhaus Bremen, representatives of the Senator for Culture, and experts who, through their professional work, are familiar with the fields of contemporary art.
