Alfred/Düsseldorf Summer Artist Residency
June 7th-28th, 2023
This intimately scaled artist residency will take place for three weeks at our spacious graduate painting studio facility in Düsseldorf, Germany. Emerging and established artists who are interested in making independent studio work in an international setting are welcome to apply.
Seven artists will be selected from the pool of applicants to take part in this exciting opportunity. Centrally located in the Oberbilk neighborhood of Düsseldorf, the studios are easily accessed by tram, U-Bahn, and bus.
Since the founding of the Kunstakademie in 1773, Dusseldorf has been a leading center of painting with an extensive network of world-class museums, contemporary art galleries and non-profit exhibition spaces. The city is both a hub and a crossroads for artists and students seeking a creative and supportive experience.
