Studios

The Hessische Kulturstiftung offers its residency grant recipients the use of living and working studios in New York City, London, Paris, Istanbul, and Kyoto for the pursuit of their art and research projects. 

New York City

Since 1993—the year after it launched its grant programme—the Hessische Kulturstiftung has operated a combined living and working studio in Tribeca, Lower Manhattan. More than 30 artists have since spent their residencies there.

London

Das Atelierhaus liegt im Osten Londons, im Stadtteil Bow. Das zweigeschossige Reihenhaus mit insgesamt 110 qm Nutzfläche ist ausgestattet mit jeweils zwei Arbeits- und Schlafräumen, Küche, Speicherraum und Keller. Hinter dem Haus schließt sich ein kleiner Garten an. Einige wichtige Galerien wie Whitechapel und Chisenhale Gallery liegen in den angrenzenden Stadtteilen Hoxton, Hackney und Bethnal Green, in denen sich in den letzten Jahren die junge Kunst- und Kulturszene etabliert hat.
Das Atelierhaus wird durch Acme Studios verwaltet, die die Stipendiat:innen vor Ort betreuen und Kontakte zu Kunstinstitutionen, Künstler:innen vermitteln.

Paris

The Hessische Kulturstiftung has its Paris studio in the heart of the city at the Cité internationale des arts, a building complex that constitutes the world’s largest artists’ residence. In use by the foundation since 1992, the combined living and working space has provided accommodations to some 30 of its grant recipients.

Istanbul

Since 2013, the Hessische Kulturstiftung has been renting a combined living and working studio for its grant recipients in the middle of Beyoğlu, a district located between the Golden Horn and the Bosporus. About 10 of its grant recipients have meanwhile had the opportunity to pursue their artistic projects there.

Kyoto

Starting in 2027, the Hessische Kulturstiftung is offering its grant recipients the opportunity to realize their artistic projects at the Goethe-Institut Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto. Situated right on the bank of the Kamo River, the Villa Kamogawa provides accommodations to its own grant recipients as well as those of cooperating institutions from Europe and East Asia.

The grant award process for the years 2027/2028 has been completed. Applications for the Hessische Kulturstiftung 2029/2030 travel and residency grants will be accepted starting in the late summer of 2028.
