INHABIT Artist Residency

(Frankfurt, Germany)

Category: The Showcase / Fully Funded European Institutional Studio Fellowship

• The Opportunity: INHABIT, hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main, is a premier, fully funded European residency inviting visual artists, sculptors, and spatial practitioners to develop ambitious studio projects.

• The "Lighthouse" Advantage: This is a fully institutional fellowship that bridges contemporary art with material research and aesthetics. Selected artists are given total access to specialized facilities, laboratories, and curator networks across Germany.

• The Benefits: 100% Fully Funded. Includes a monthly living stipend of approximately €2,000 per month, a dedicated production and materials budget, covered round-trip travel to Frankfurt, accommodation, and a large private studio space culminating in a public exhibition.

• Eligibility: Open internationally to all visual artists and spatial/material makers.

• Application Pathway: aesthetics.mpg.de/en/inhabit

• Direct Contact: inhabit@ae.mpg.de

• The Strategy: Pitch a project that explores the visceral perception of physical art—how material textures, structural forms, or raw mediums evoke physical and psychological responses in a gallery environment.

The stories behind my artwork, the opportunities in The Lighthouse, and the reflections of the Morning Muse are my ways of keeping the lamp lit for our creative community. These resources will always be free to access. If they have found you at the right time, consider fueling the forge to help keep the fire burning. Your support, in any amount, is deeply appreciated.
