Applications are open for the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program 2026. The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program is a residency program for international cultural practitioners that facilitates and supports creative processes, encounters, and collaborations.

Both during and after their period of residency in Berlin, the fellows receive support from the Artists-in-Berlin Program to develop and present exhibitions, concerts, performances, film projects, readings, and publications. Collaboration with guests and partners results in new creative endeavors that are presented at the daadgalerie, in other cultural institutions in Berlin, throughout Germany, and in locations all around the world.

  • The program is an award for outstanding international artists from the fields of visual arts, film, literature, and music & sound. It is intended for established artists who have already developed their own voice and standing.
  • There is no (upper) age limit.
  • An academic background is not required. However, the Artists-in-Berlin Program is primarily interested in positions that critically engage with historical issues as well as contemporary discourses. We therefore prefer artists who go beyond pure aesthetics and address the relevant issues of our time.
  • Applications may only be submitted in the categories of film, literature, and music & sound.

Application

Applications for the 2026 residencies for film, literature and music & sound are now open. The application deadline is December 15, 2024, 23:59 CET. In the visual arts category, candidates are nominated and selected by a specialist jury. Accordingly, applications cannot be submitted in this field.
