Description
Otte1 awards grants to artists working internationally in a wide range of disciplines such as visual arts (with the exception of applied art), music composition and literature.
The Otte1 artists’ residency – named after its location at Ottestr.1 in Eckernförde, Germany – is a place for research, artistic work, and international encounters. It supports professional artists at various stages in their careers. The board of friends of otte1 – Schleswig-Holsteinisches Künstlerhaus awards scholarships from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of the State of Schleswig-Holstein every year – subject to coverage by the state budget.
The association “otte1 – Schleswig-Holsteinisches Künstlerhaus e.V.” is member of the Network of Artists’ Residences in Northern Germany.
The residency is intended as a period for research and reflection on the artistic practice. All residents are expected to spend a minimum of 20 hours a week working in their studio. Residents should be enthusiastic about participating in residency meetings and events, including residency gatherings, visits from curators, and a seasonal open studio.
Four studios are available rent-free for chosen scholars, and scholarship holders receive a financial support of currently 1,000.00 euros per month. The grants are awarded as three-month work and residency scholarships.
Outcome
A concrete project does not necessarily have to be carried out; research and the development of project approaches are also eligible for funding.
