Balmoral Castle Scholarships 2009 Call for submissions 




 
 

Intention and purposeArtists’ residence Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral in Bad Ems, Foundation for Culture of Rhineland-Palatinate, which was founded in 1995, is a place of reflection, artistic production, discussion and meeting. It supports visual artists from all over the world by awarding artists-in-Residence scholarships. 
The Künstlerhaus is publicly presented through lectures, concerts and exhibitions. Works by the scholarship holders are regularly shown in a relaxed atmosphere.The Künstlerhaus perceives itself as an intersection between the different kinds of art media and theoretical reflection but also as an intermediary between current and former scholarship holders. Balmoral intends to build a bridge between the artists' present and their future. 
RequirementsBalmoral awards six artists-in-residence scholarships to international fine artists who have completed their degree in art and a subsequent three-year period of artistic activity. Applicants still studying during the application period cannot be considered. 
In addition, Balmoral awards one project scholarship offering the visual artist an opportunity to develop a project at a different place. The purpose of this scholarship is to support a project of particular content to be realised within a specific time period and to recognise the artist’s previous artistic work. The project will be presented in Balmoral afterwards. 
Artists from the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, graphic arts, design, photography, video as well as from new media art and landscape art can apply for a Balmoral scholarship.
