Artist in Residence Programme – City of Frankfurt am Main
The Culture Department of the City of Frankfurt am Main has conducted an Artist in Residence Programme since the year 1990. The project is designed to promote the artistic interchange between cities and is based on the principle of reciprocity. The City provides a residential studio and a monthly grant. The counter programme provides Frankfurt artists with the opportunity to live and work in a partner city for a similar period and under equivalent conditions. Frankfurt’s Artist in Residence Programme is not to be regarded purely as a material award, but as a possibility for gathering and artistically developing new impressions and experiences. The exchange should serve to establish new contacts that could be beneficial for creative achievements in the future. In this way the Programme’s goal is to form an international artistic network between participating artists and venues.
