The programme aims to stimulate art production, experiments and critical reflection as well as to encourage exchange among people working in arts and culture. The infrastructure and the international environment of Künstlerhaus Bethanien provide a platform for this purpose. The artists-in-residence programme facilitates international networking and addresses the need to challenge geographic and cultural impacts, which in turn leads to new ways of thinking and working. Each grant holder is honoured with an exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien and a catalogue.
