The Dialog City Art for Public Residency Programme invites artists from all disciplines – ranging from painting, photography, and sculpture to design and architecture – to apply for the residency in Aschaffenburg, Germany, from 2 May to 15 July 2025. The residency takes place under the theme Society in Transition.
The project particularly welcome proposals that highlight aspects of sustainability and/or cultural heritage. Aschaffenburg is a city with a rich and diverse cultural heritage. For years, conscious sustainability has been a focus of the city, alongside a human-centred and dialogue-oriented digital transformation with Dialog City as the digital strategy of the City of Aschaffenburg.
