Otte1
Otte1 awards grants to artists working internationally in a wide range of disciplines such as visual arts (with the exception of applied art), music composition and literature.
The Otte1 artists’ residency – named after its location at Ottestr.1 in Eckernförde, Germany – is a place for research, artistic work, and international encounters. It supports professional artists at various stages in their careers. The board of friends of otte1 – Schleswig-Holsteinisches Künstlerhaus awards scholarships from the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of the State of Schleswig-Holstein every year – subject to coverage by the state budget.
The association “otte1 – Schleswig-Holsteinisches Künstlerhaus e.V.” is member of the Network of Artists’ Residences in Northern Germany.
The residency is intended as a period for research and reflection on the artistic practice. All residents are expected to spend a minimum of 20 hours a week working in their studio. Residents should be enthusiastic about participating in residency meetings and events, including residency gatherings, visits from curators, and a seasonal open studio.
Four studios are available rent-free for chosen scholars, and scholarship holders receive a financial support of currently 1,000.00 euros per month. The grants are awarded as three-month work and residency scholarships.
A concrete project does not necessarily have to be carried out; research and the development of project approaches are also eligible for funding.
The studios are located on the ground floor, and first floor of an old historical building, accessible by stairs. Some of the studios, communal spaces and building facilities are wheelchair accessible, but the studios are not in general suitable for handicapped people.
Otte1 – the Schleswig-Holstein Artists’s Residency provides the scholarship holders with four furnished studios. They are between 51 and 64 square metres in size. The four flats with separate or integrated bedrooms are equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. There is a courtyard and a garden for common use.
