Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
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.

Residency grants are awarded for a period of three to twelve months.

Completed application form
