The Hamburg Ministry for Culture and Media offers international artists a three-month residency in the Westwerk artists’ centre in Hamburg. The residency is a residential and work grant that requires the artist to live and work at Westwerk and facilitates both work on
an artistic project and networking with the Hamburg cultural scene. Westwerk is centrally located in inner-city Hamburg, in a relatively large complex of buildings on Fleetinsel that houses further studios, galleries, an art bookshop and a small theatre.
