Künstlerhaus Stuttgart
Overview
Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, an artist-run institution with a decades-long history of fostering experimental practices, has issued an open call for a fellowship in poetry. While the organization is traditionally associated with visual art, its programming has consistently embraced interdisciplinary and text-based work, making this fellowship a natural extension of its curatorial vision. The fellowship provides a platform for poets to develop new projects in a supportive, critically engaged environment, often culminating in a public presentation or publication. The fellowship is open to poets at various career stages, from emerging to established, and encourages applications that demonstrate a rigorous engagement with language, form, and context. The selection committee, composed of Künstlerhaus members and external experts, seeks proposals that are ambitious, thoughtfully conceived, and feasible within the fellowship period. While the exact duration and terms are not specified in the provided information, past fellowships have included studio space, a stipend, and production support. This opportunity is particularly suited to poets whose work intersects with other disciplines—such as visual art, performance, or digital media—and who are interested in site-specific or research-driven approaches. The fellowship does not prescribe a theme, but successful applications often reflect a deep awareness of contemporary poetic discourse and a willingness to engage with the institution's broader community.
