Follow Fluxus - Scholarship 2026/27

In cooperation with the Hessian state capital, Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden has been awarding the scholarship “Follow Fluxus: After Fluxus” annually since 2008. With eighteen artists already supported, the aim of the scholarship is to promote international creators whose work connects with the trans‑national, multicultural and interdisciplinary art movement Fluxus. The legendary event series “Fluxus Internationale Festspiele Neuester Musik” laid a central cornerstone in 1962 in Wiesbaden for the still‑ongoing international reception of Fluxus.

The scholarship provides the fellow with a grant of €10.000 and includes a three‑month residency from June 1 to August 31, 2027. During this period the fellow may live and work rent‑free in the studio house of the Kunsthaus Wiesbaden. A fully equipped living/bedroom with shower/WC as well as a studio (total 70.88 m²) are provided. Afterwards, an exhibition will be presented in the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden’s exhibition rooms on the third floor. In order to build new networks and strengthen existing contacts, the artist is expected to spend the majority of the residency period in Wiesbaden.

With the submitted project proposal, applicants should build on the ideas and practices of the Fluxus movement and make a contribution to its further development and contemporary transformation in the 21st century. Artists are invited to formulate their visions accordingly and to open new perspectives on Fluxus‑related art practices with creative, innovative approaches.

The scholarship is open to international and national artists from all fields of visual and performing arts who can demonstrate a completed art‑studies degree together with relevant professional and exhibition experience. Applications from self‑taught artists who have distinguished themselves by notable artistic achievements, documented through exhibitions and awards, are also welcome.
