Akademie Schloss Solitude Fellowships Requirements

The fellowship is aimed at artists, scholars, and cultural practitioners from around the world who have already developed an independent professional practice but are currently in an active phase of further growth – that is, they are no longer at the very beginning of their careers, but not yet firmly established. In general, this means at least two and no more than ten years of professional experience after completing an artistic or academic education, regardless of age.
They are looking for applicants who are in a phase of consolidating their practice and who seek to engage in new contexts and interdisciplinary experiences.
The application should clearly describe the current stage of the applicant’s professional or artistic development and explain why a residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude is particularly relevant at this point in their career.
While the program primarily addresses practitioners with up to ten years of experience, applications from those with longer professional careers will also be considered if they clearly demonstrate the specific relevance of the fellowship to their current development.
