The Starke Art Foundation supports young, emerging artists across all genres.
In an inspiring yet exclusive environment, artists are given the space to fully focus on their creative work and further develop their individual artistic voice. We provide support for their artistic development and actively encourage dialogue and exchange among the residents.
Artists from Germany and abroad under the age of 40 are eligible to apply.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. An independent jury selects the applicants who will be awarded a residency grant by the Starke Foundation.
In addition, guest apartments are available for short-term stays, which can be used by established artists. Please note that residents are responsible for covering their own energy costs during their stay.
All projects supported by the Starke Foundation are accompanied and guided by international curators.

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.

All projects of the Starke Foundation are accompanied by international curators and supported through scholarly engagement.
Eligible applicants are artists up to and including the age of 38.
There is no financial grant. The studios are subsidized, which means that a contribution towards energy costs must be paid. This amount is based on the current market situation.
All artistic genres are supported: painting and sculpture, architecture and design, music and composition, performance, installation, conceptual art, as well as literature and new media.
Residency grants are awarded for a period of three to twelve months.
Fellows receive a residency grant. This includes free accommodation and studio space in the residence facilities, as well as the opportunity to present their work in a solo or group exhibition at the Löwenpalais, provided the artistic quality is sufficient.

Completed application form
Letter of motivation / Project description outlining the planned artistic work during the residency (max. 2 A4 pages)
Artistic CV
Formal documents (e.g., proof of residence, ID card, passport for non-EU applicants)
Financial plan: Applicants must provide documentation proving they are able to finance their stay at the Löwenpalais themselves.
Applications can be submitted on a rolling basis; there is no fixed deadline.
Residency grants are awarded by the Starke Art Foundation based on the decision of an independent jury. Applicants will be notified in writing. Decisions will not be justified.
