In the historic town center of the Hanseatic town of Salzwedel, the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel maintains a half-timbered house as an artist and scholarship house with an international orientation. Artists from the fields of visual arts, literature and music/composition will find ideal working and living conditions in an idyllic and peaceful setting. The house also has an area where events and small exhibitions can be held. The call is aimed at professionally working, particularly talented and primarily younger artists in the fields of visual arts, literature and music/composition who have already achieved public recognition with their work but are still open in their artistic development. Applications from students are excluded. Please note: Applications from artists from Saxony-Anhalt are expressly encouraged, but not a prerequisite. Support for other artists is possible if their outstanding artistic work is of particular interest to the state or if a connection to Saxony-Anhalt can be established. The State Chancellery and Ministry of Culture supports the three-month residencies at the Salzwedel Artists’ and Scholars’ House with a grant of €1,500 per month. Scholarship holders only incur incidental costs in the amount of the telephone and internet connection fees. The scholarship holders’ residencies for applicants in 2025 will be announced for the following months: January – March for literature, July – September for music, April – June and October – December for visual arts. Residency is compulsory for the scholarship holder’s stay. An exemption, even partial, is not possible.
