The Goethe-Institut has announced the applications for Travel Grants for Curatorial Research that funding gives curators an opportunity to deepen their knowledge of international contemporary art and to network with the German and foreign art scenes.
What they fund
- They support research abroad leading to an exhibition or other event in Germany by providing partial funding, e.g. to cover travelling expenses and/or a grant towards accommodation costs. They do not cover material costs or pay fees.
- This funding is not meant to cover: academic research trips, shortfalls in funding to cover travelling expenses for a residency, curating already planned exhibition projects abroad, guest lectures.
Funding Information
- The maximum grant per research trip is usually €5,000.
Whom they fund
- Curators based in Germany
Funding Criteria
- If you are travelling to places abroad where a Goethe-Institut is located, please get in touch with the staff there ahead of time and discuss whether collaboration with the local Goethe-Institut is possible and worthwhile. If you are going to be actively involved in Goethe-Institut projects during your research trip, please make separate arrangements with the Goethe-Institut concerned regarding your fees and expenses etc.
- You are required to submit documentary proof of your travels (e.g. plane/train tickets, hotel receipts etc.) and a brief report within two months after the end of their research trip.
- If you curate any exhibitions, projects, publications etc. drawing on the results of your research trip, you are required to notify us and explicitly mention the Goethe-Institut’s patronage and include the Goethe-Institut logo on all project-related media (printed matter, online etc.).
