About the organization
The Dr. Marlene Trentwedel Foundation Prize, administered by the Stadt Bremervörde, is a biennial award dedicated to supporting contemporary visual artists. Established in 1998 through a bequest from the estate of Dr. Marlene Trentwedel, a physician and lifelong advocate for the arts, the prize reflects her conviction that artistic practice can serve as a vital form of civic and cultural inquiry. The foundation operates with a modest, focused mandate: to provide unrestricted funds and a solo exhibition at the Stadtmuseum Bremervörde to one emerging or mid-career artist each cycle. Its ethos is one of quiet, sustained commitment rather than spectacle, prioritizing the artist's working conditions over thematic constraints.
Programs & opportunities
2 listedTaking part
Applications are accepted only during announced open calls, typically every two years. There is no entry fee, but the foundation expects a concise portfolio (max 10 images or 5 minutes of video), a brief artist statement, and a CV. Do not send original works. The jury favors coherent, research-driven practices over polished, market-ready series; evidence of ongoing experimentation is valued more than a flawless final product. Inquiries should be directed to the Kulturbüro Bremervörde via email, not by phone. Decisions are usually communicated within three months of the deadline.
