Stadt Duisburg

Taking part

Applicants should approach this grant as a residency, not a commission: the selection committee looks for a clear, feasible work plan that demonstrates how time and space in Duisburg would advance your practice, rather than a polished project proposal. Emphasize process, research, and local engagement—if relevant—over final outcomes. The application is typically in German, but English-language materials are often accepted; check the current call for specific language requirements. Keep your budget realistic and modest, and avoid over-promising public events or exhibitions. Deadlines are firm, and late or incomplete applications are rarely considered. It is advisable to contact the cultural office in advance with any eligibility questions, as the staff is known to be helpful but not expansive in their correspondence.
