Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation

The Künstlerdorf Schöppingen Foundation aims to support international artists and authors by organizing a residency program. During the working stay in the artists' village, the scholarship holders are able to use free space without time or financial pressure and to work in a focused manner.

The foundation's core themes are the progressive potential of the arts, which have an impact on other areas of society, and the testing of new methods and structures through processes.

The transdisciplinary exchange with other scholarship holders as well as with the local and regional environment enables new impulses, perspectives and networks.
