The Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art, Oldenburg, will award three Media Art Grants of the Stiftung Niedersachsen (12,500 EUR each).
The Stiftung Niedersachsen grant at the Edith-Russ-Haus for Media Art supports a wide spectrum of media art, from video art and net-based projects to audio works and audiovisual installations. Each of the three grants will be awarded for the production of a new project in the area of media art.
The grant is valid for a duration of six months (July–December 2025). It cannot be prolonged and residency is compulsory; grant recipients can expect to stay in Oldenburg at least one month (which can be spread across several stays). The project or artistic work should be completed within the six-month duration of the grant. However, an extension until the end of February 2026 can be negotiated.
Grant recipients are expected to be involved in the activities of the Edith-Russ-Haus, including, for example, running workshops and giving presentations and artist talks.
Both individual artists and artist groups can apply; however, the grant amount (12,500 EUR) is the same for groups as for individuals. On request and by arrangement, a furnished guest apartment is available to grant recipients. It is possible to bring a partner or children, and project collaborators (e.g., sound designers, editors) can also be accommodated by the Edith-Russ-Haus free of charge.
