Balmoral Castle Scholarships 2009 Call for submissions
Intention and purposeArtists’ residence Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral in Bad
Ems, Foundation for Culture of Rhineland-Palatinate, which was founded in 1995,
is a place of reflection, artistic production, discussion and meeting. It
supports visual artists from all over the world by awarding
artists-in-Residence scholarships.
The Künstlerhaus is publicly presented through lectures, concerts and
exhibitions. Works by the scholarship holders are regularly shown in a relaxed
atmosphere.The Künstlerhaus perceives itself as an intersection between the
different kinds of art media and theoretical reflection but also as an
intermediary between current and former scholarship holders. Balmoral intends
to build a bridge between the artists' present and their future.
RequirementsBalmoral awards six artists-in-residence scholarships to
international fine artists who have completed their degree in art and a
subsequent three-year period of artistic activity. Applicants still studying
during the application period cannot be considered.
In addition, Balmoral awards one project scholarship offering the visual artist
an opportunity to develop a project at a different place. The purpose of this
scholarship is to support a project of particular content to be realised within
a specific time period and to recognise the artist’s previous artistic work.
The project will be presented in Balmoral afterwards.
Artists from the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation, drawing,
graphic arts, design, photography, video as well as from new media art and
landscape art can apply for a Balmoral scholarship.
In order to promote dialogue between the social sciences and art, for the first
time one theory scholarship for a junior academic in the humanities (preferably
art theory) is offered. In accordance and in close cooperation with the
Künstlerhaus and the attendant scholarship holders, s/he should actively
participate in creating, developing and organising the activities in the
artists’ residence. The theory scholarship will be awarded to applicants not
older than 35 years or to those who graduated not longer than 5 years ago. For

as a sound knowledge of English or French is essential.
