Akademie Schloss Solitude supports young artists, scholars, scientists, as well as cultural and economic professionals via residential fellowships only. Are you interested in applying for a residential fellowship? You will find all information on conditions, benefits and the selection procedure on this page.
The candidates should not be older than 40 or have completed a university degree within the past five years. Applications from students enrolled in degree programs will not be considered; PhD students may submit applications. A very limited number of fellowships can be awarded regardless of the applicants’ age. Application rounds for Solitude fellowships are held every two years. The jury awards a maximum of 65 fellows. 45 live/work studios and three guest studios are available.
Scholarships are usually awarded for a period of six, nine or twelve months.
Applications of artist groups are possible. In this case, please choose »group profile« in the section »Profile data« and follow the instructions. Each member has to be listed with personal data but we need only one contact information. Please choose ONE sphere of practice and upload ONE PDF with work samples valid for the whole group.
Double applications to the Kunststiftung Baden-Württemberg gGmbH (Arts Foundation Baden-Württemberg) and the AkademieSchloss Solitude are not permitted.
Applicants whose applications are refused during the current selection procedure may send in applications during two other rounds (maximum). Former fellows of the Akademie Schloss Solitude are not eligible.
Knowledge of either German and/or English and/or French is a prerequisite for application.
The Solitude fellowship is a residential fellowship. Fellows are obliged to spend at least two thirds of their fellowships at the Akademie. All fellows must have their permanent residence in Stuttgart for the fellowship’s duration (obligation to register residence).
The next call for fellowships will take place from September 1 to November 30, 2023 for residential fellowships from fall 2024 to fall 2026.
The online application platform will be accessible as from September 1, 2023.
You will find all information on conditions, benefits and the selection procedure on the "Solitude Fellowship" on the Akademie Solitude website.
