Program Description

The renowned Akademie Schloss Solitude is happy to announce its 17th call for applications for its international and interdisciplinary artist-in-residence-program. It has supported approximately 1,400 young artists from more than 120 countries since opening its doors in 1990. Application rounds for Solitude fellowships are held every two years. International artists and scientists are invited to apply from the spheres listed above. For the first time in its 30-year history, Akademie Schloss Solitude is expanding its profile with the addition of a thematic call. In cooperation with KfW Stiftung, Akademie Schloss Solitude is launching the new program with the specific content-related focus »Mutations«. To foster transdisciplinary and transcultural dialogue between the arts, sciences and society, young professionals from all fields are invited to engage in this topic in a focused group conversation in a 9-month program.
