Individual visual artists of any age, or artist duos, whose main residence is in Germany and who are not enrolled as students during the project period. Each artist or duo applies for their own work only and may submit one application. Applicants who applied to KUNSTFONDS_Stipendium, KUNSTFONDS_Publikation or KUNSTFONDS_Werkverzeichnung for the 2026 funding year, or received Kunstfonds funding for 2026, are excluded; the three programmes can be applied for only every two years.
