– FAQ –

Is it pos­si­ble to post­po­ne the time frame of the resi­den­cy?
The time frame of the resi­den­cy is sche­du­led for a stay of 90 days from March 1 to May 29, 2020, with a devia­ti­on of a maxi­mum of ten days.

Is it necessa­ry to par­ti­ci­pa­te in the ent­i­re three mon­ths (90 days) of the resi­den­cy?
Yes, the scho­l­ar­ship obli­ges the artist to resi­de in Hal­le (Saa­le) for the ent­i­re three mon­ths and not be absent for more than 14 days.

Is it pos­si­ble to app­ly with a col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve pro­ject?
The resi­den­cy pro­gram is inten­ded for one artist. A sha­red fel­low­ship / col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve pro­ject would mean sharing the grant. Also, you have to be awa­re of addi­tio­nal costs for accom­mo­da­ti­on and tra­vel expen­ses.

Is the accom­mo­da­ti­on appro­pria­te for fami­lies?
The artist resi­den­cy is only con­di­tio­nal­ly fami­ly-fri­end­ly, sin­ce the accom­mo­da­ti­on pro­vi­ded is a sin­gle room apart­ment.
