Call for Residencies | MECKLENBURG INSPIRES

Residencies for artists and cultural operators from all disciplines. The cultural association “Mecklenburg Inspires” invites artists during the off season to stay and work inspired by the region. The art work will then be exhibited or presented in front of an audience. In the planning of each residency season, the project manager plans with each invited artist a parallel activity, depending on the artists interests and skills. The aim of the parallel activity is to produce an output or impact that will remain with the region or its people after the artist has left. We particularly welcome theme- or site-specific proposals of the artists himself when applying for a residency.
