Deadline: 15 June and 15 September 2011
The cultural association “Mecklenburg Inspires” invites artists during the off season to stay and work inspired by the region. The art work will then be exhibited or presented in front of an audience. In the planning of each residency season, the project manager plans with each invited artist a parallel activity, depending on the artists interests and skills. The aim of the parallel activity is to produce an output or impact that will remain with the region or its people after the artist has left. Mecklenburg Inspires particularly welcomes theme- or site-specific proposals of the artists himself when applying for a residency.
The residencies take place during the off season, from the beginning of November until the end of march and for a duration of six to 8 weeks. Longer stays, if required, can be negotiated.
The association offers accommodation in local houses (3 – 5 stars), free meals (half-board and the possibility to prepare sandwiches for lunch) and work spaces. Travel and material costs are not covered, but they will help you search for mobility and other grants.
