Applications are open to artists of any age residing in Germany or any other country bordering the Baltic Sea (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark) as well as Norway, Iceland and the UK.

In total, up to 60 scholarships will be awarded for 2024 and 2025, including one-month residency scholarships, two-month curator scholarships and two-week workshops. The more than 120-year old artists’ house in Ahrenshoop, a place rich in tradition, is listed as a cultural heritage and located in a stunning scenery. It provides excellent working and living conditions for up to six artists in residence at a time. Selected exchange partners in Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and the Russian Federation complete the international scholarship program.

Each scholarship-holder at Künstlerhaus Lukas will be awarded 1000 € per month, which includes travel costs. Free accommodation will be provided. The scholarships will be awarded by an independent jury who will announce their decisions by the end of September 2023.
