The vision and the work of the artists’ city The Künstlerstadt Kalbe is a young and innovative cultural project: Located in northern Saxony-Anhalt in Germany, it has made it its task to counter demographic change with art and cultural offerings. Our goal is on the one hand to understand the luxury of emptiness as a potential creative space and to use it for art and culture, for social innovation and a new good life. On the other hand, our offer should revitalize Kalbe as well as the entire Altmark region, enable people to move in and create perspectives for staying.

7th International Winter Campus 2021

The centerpieces of our work are the annual summer and winter campus: For several weeks international artists of all directions (fine arts, literature, drama, music, film, photography, media art, performance, interdisciplinary projects) are invited to live and work in Kalbe. In accordance with our vision, we hope that the scholarship holders of the summer campus will see themselves as participants in our social sculpture: in addition to working on their own projects (or in connection with them), they can interact with the city of Kalbe and its inhabitants through participative/interactive art actions or workshops, for example. In addition, the scholarship holders present the works they have created or brought with them to the public during weekly studio tours.

The scholarship includes

The duration of the scholarship can be chosen freely between 2 - 4 weeks. For all scholarship holders accommodation and studios are available free of charge. Some of the work rooms have been unused for several years and are of importance for the history of the city, such as the former court building in Kalbe. They offer unusual and unique opportunities for artistic production. This is exactly what we call the "luxury of emptiness": the rooms offer up to 70 square meters of space for the development of one's own creativity and at the same time represent a profitable challenge: In contrast to the often uniform working spaces in university cities, the rooms in the artists' city are often still unformed, but this provides an atmospheric and stimulating working environment.

Venues for readings, concerts, performances or screenings are available, as well as a basic stock of working materials, tools and technical equipment; further enquiries from the scholarship holders can be made individually.

For applicants living outside Germany we can pay a travel allowance and, if necessary, a visa fee allowance. Currently, these costs must still be covered by artists living in Germany. Furniture and equipment for cooking will be provided. Cooking will take place in a large shared kitchen. There will be the possibility of using bicycles. Each scholarship holder will be provided with a local partner as contact person.
