Künstlerhaus Bethanien International Studio Programme
About this opportunity
Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin is one of Germany's most important international residency centres for contemporary visual art. The programme provides studio space, curatorial support, and a vibrant international peer community. Residencies culminate in a public exhibition, offering meaningful visibility in Berlin's thriving art scene.
Application tips
Most residencies are arranged through Bethanien's network of international partner organisations (e.g. DAAD, Arts Council Korea, Creative New Zealand) with their own deadlines. Direct applications are reviewed on a rolling basis with no fixed deadline. Submit a motivation letter (max one page), portfolio, CV, and name of intended funding body to Valeria Schulte-Fischedick ([email protected]). If your proposal aligns with curatorial direction, you may receive a Letter of Interest to support external funding applications.
