This year, the Art Commission of the City of Düsseldorf is launching a new format that focuses on promoting contemporary art in public spaces. With stadt.raum.experimente, local as well as internationally active artists are called upon to develop experimental and temporary concepts for the urban space of Düsseldorf. Whether installation, performance or participation, stadt.raum.experimente is open to unusual forms and experimental ideas.
Successful artistic projects in public space are those that reflect the state and processes of change in the city and actively help shape future developments, for example with regard to sustainable aspects. Socially relevant topics can be taken up in the projects.
The art contributions must be implemented in a freely accessible, public space and they should be as barrier-free as possible. Projects must be related to or with added value for Düsseldorf’s urban community. The art contributions should be temporary.
The art contributions can be submitted by individual artists, groups of people (e.g. ARGE, GbR) or non-profit associations that act as sponsors of the project
Up to 120,000 EUR is available annually. Each project is funded with a maximum of 60,000 EUR. Additional funds from third parties are possible but not required.
