Stiftung Künstlerdorf Schöppingen background

Since 1989, the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen supports international artists with its residency programme. The stipend-funded fellowship of two to six months enables the realisation of projects in the fields of literature, visual arts and composition.

Programme description

The Stiftung Künstlerdorf Schöppingen is located in two listed manor houses from the early 19th century, situated in the rural area of Münsterland, close to the Dutch border. The Künstlerdorf Schöppingen emphasizes collegial advice and knowledge exchange in a supportive and non-competitive setting.
The programme of Künstlerdorf Schöppingen offers the opportunity to regularly gain insight into artistic processes and to engage in personal exchange with the fellows. In addition to ongoing events such as monthly dinners and brunches, the Künstlerdorf organises the annual CAP (Curating for Advanced Practices) programme, which aims to discuss production conditions and implementation issues for artistic practices and to develop new strategies and structures in the arts.

Target group

The programme is open to international applicants in the fields of literature, visual arts and composition and has no age limit.

Formalities

All amount to 1.500,- EUR per month, less 100,- to 200,- EUR rent and operating costs. Travel, insurance or material costs will only be covered in exceptional cases. The fellowship requires that the grant holders reside and work at Künstlerdorf Schöppingen during the period of the residency.
