The Miller-Zillmer Foundation (an organisation supporting audio-visual art and social cultural projects) is inviting applications for a three-month artist grant for audio and visual projects that can be digitally accessed. The place of work is – in accordance with the situation – your own studio.
This grant call has been set up in response to the unexpected crisis. The current exceptional situation brings artists and cultural workers not only to existential limits, but also to create new digital working spaces, in order not only to constructively counteract social isolation but also to contribute to global solidarity.
The Miller-Zillmer Foundation is looking for three to four audio-visual artists, preferably living in different countries, who would like to work together on an artistic project across borders and make it accessible online on a regular basis. The topics should be in the field of audio visual art and social relevance. Funding includes a monthly grant of 1000€ per participant for the maximum duration of three months and an online platform for publication.
Requirements for a stipend are:
-
Applicants must be shown to be acutely affected by the current measures to control the Covid-19 virus in their professional activity as artists.
-
Other public or private solidarity systems do not apply or do not apply at short notice and confirm this in writing. The following sentence must be signed separately: ‘I hereby confirm that in the current situation my livelihood cannot be guaranteed by relatives.’
-
Applicants must declare their willingness to process and store their submitted documents/materials in accordance with the EU’s rules on data protection.
With this working stipend the Foundation would like to support artists who currently have no income or financial support from other sources. For this reason, applicants who already receive (or will receive) grants will not be considered.
