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 find ideal working and living conditions here. Three-month study visits are offered. The call for applications is aimed at professionally working, particularly talented and primarily younger artists in the fields of visual arts, literature and music/composition.
Please note: Applications from artists from Saxony-Anhalt are expressly encouraged, but not a prerequisite. Funding for other artists
and 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.
Scholarships for applicants in 2027 will be awarded for the following months for the visual arts: January – March and July – September
