The Starke Foundation, based in Berlin-Grunewald, was established by Jörg Starke as a non-profit art foundation and has, since its founding in 1988, created a dedicated space for the arts. Jörg Starke’s father, Peter Starke—a businessman and Honorary Consul of Monaco—was deeply committed to the common good and supported his son’s vision accordingly. The villa has been in the family’s possession since 1961.
The foundation’s mission is to support emerging artists across all artistic disciplines: painting and sculpture, architecture and design, music and composition, performance, installation, conceptual art, literature, and new media. This central objective is especially realized through the foundation’s comprehensive Artist in Residence program.
Work – Exhibit – Exchange
At the heart of the foundation’s activities lies the Artist in Residence program. Fellows are provided with living and studio space for a period of three to twelve months, opportunities to present their work in the foundation’s own exhibition spaces, and receive financial support through a residency grant. In addition, they become part of a vibrant and well-connected network of artists and cultural professionals.
The Starke Art Foundation supports young, emerging artists across all genres. In an inspiring yet exclusive environment, they are given the opportunity to fully focus on their artistic practice and to develop or refine their individual style. We assist them in their artistic growth and actively encourage dialogue and exchange among the resident artists.
Artists from both Germany and abroad are welcome to apply up to the age of 40. Applications are accepted year-round. An independent jury selects the artists who will be awarded a residency fellowship by Stiftung Starke.
In addition, guest apartments are available for short-term stays by established artists. Please note that energy costs during the residency must be covered by the fellows themselves.
All projects of the Starke Foundation are accompanied by international curators and supported through scholarly engagement.
Das Löwenpalais, Sitz der Kunststiftung Starke, gehört zu den größten und prächtigsten Bauten in Berlin-Grunewald. Zwei steinerne Löwen, die die Fassade flankieren, gaben der Villa im neobarocken Stil ihren Namen.
