Artists from the fields of visual arts, literature and music/composition can now apply for a three-month residency at the artist and scholarship house in Salzwedel in 2026.
The State Chancellery’s call for applications is aimed at professionally working, particularly talented and primarily younger artists who have already received public recognition for their work but are still open in their artistic development. Applications from students are excluded.
Applications from artists from Saxony-Anhalt are expressly encouraged, but not a prerequisite. Funding for other artists is possible if their outstanding artistic work is of particular interest to the state or if a connection to Saxony-Anhalt can be established.
The State Chancellery and Ministry of Culture supports the three-month residencies at the Salzwedel Artists’ and Scholars’ House with a grant of €1,500 per month. The scholarship holders only incur incidental costs in the amount of the telephone and internet connection fees.

- for the visual arts: January – March and July – September
- for the field of music: April – June
- for the field of literature: October – December
