degree) and two or three years (depending on the respective scholarship)
of continuous artistic work after the conclusion of the studies.
Applications are also possible for autodidacts distinguished by special
artistic achievements, as documented by exhibitions and prizes.

To foster artistic dialog and interdisciplinary collaboration, knowledge 
of German, English or French is expected.

The curator scholarship is awarded to persons who are not older than 35
years or whose university degree (at least M.A., preferably Ph.D.) was
completed not more than 5 years ago.

For the curator scholarship, mastery of the German language spoken and
