The period of the residency, with a duration between two to six months, can be chosen according to agreement and availability. The fellowship requires that the grant holders reside and work at Künstlerdorf during the period of the residency.

During the stay, the premises and infrastructure of the Künstlerdorf can be used. The fellowship is not designed as a production fellowship and there is no obligation to present work results. However, there is the possibility to use exhibition and presentation facilities. In addition, we welcome the voluntary co-organization of events, in the form of lectures, readings, workshops or the like.
In line with the profile and program of the Künstlerdorf, a willingness to participate in events, exchange amongst fellows and engage with one another is a prerequisite.

The selection of fellows is made by expert juries according to the following criteria and weighting: quality of the previous work, quality and plausibility of the project for Schöppingen, program contributions (interaction / community building).
