The Art Foundation offers support for contemporary art exhibition projects through its “Frei-Raum” Funding Program. This initiative encourages exhibitions that promote interaction between artists and the public and increase the visibility of art from Saxony-Anhalt.
The program allows funding for solo exhibitions, exhibition series, or even a complete annual gallery plan. It encourages creative use of spaces, including non-traditional venues, to explore new ways of presenting art.
Artists, artist groups, initiatives, galleries, and art associations can receive up to €15,000 annually. Eligible applicants must have their primary residence or headquarters in Saxony-Anhalt.
The funding can cover rental and operating expenses, exhibition setup materials, curatorial and supervisory fees, insurance, transport, PR activities, and exhibition catalog production. However, investments like purchasing equipment or permanent fixtures are not covered.
Applications must include a concept sketch outlining the unique aspects of the project, a draft program or exhibition concept, short descriptions of the exhibitions, artist work samples and CVs, applicant and curator CVs, gallery opening hours, and a detailed budget and financing plan.
