Every year, the Kunstverein Donnersbergkreis e.V. offers a three-month scholarship entitled “Rural Encounters”. All visual artists of all disciplines are eligible to apply, with the exception of sculpture (for technical/practical reasons). Small plastic techniques may also be possible after consultation. The preferred period for the scholarship is May to August, but it can also be taken up at other times.
The scholarship is endowed with € 3,600.00 and includes free accommodation in a spacious studio apartment in Obermoschel. There is a residence requirement.
The scholarship is accompanied by public studio visits by the Kunstverein. At the end of the scholarship an exhibition will take place, which will be shown at two different locations. Obermoschel, the smallest town in the Palatinate, situated in the idyllic landscape of the “old world”, with thoroughly rural structures, offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in silence, to get back to your roots and to escape the constant “input” of the city.
This call for applications covers the scholarship for the years 2025 and 2026. The jury will discuss with the selected applicants who will receive the scholarship in which year.
To apply, please submit a short CV, a few sentences about your expectations of the scholarship and a presentation portfolio with approx. 10 photos. Purely digital applications are not permitted. Where appropriate (video, MM…), a digital data carrier can supplement the documents.
Application deadline: August 01, 2024
