The DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program evaluates established artistic practices through discipline-specific application materials and international specialist juries.

The program places particular importance on the artist’s existing practice and its potential for further development. About the DAAD Berlin Artist Residency Founded in West Berlin in 1963, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program is an international residency initiative supporting artists and cultural practitioners across several disciplines. Each year, the program welcomes about twenty fellows, though its FAQ lists eighteen residencies. Its activities extend beyond the residency period through collaborations, presentations, publications, and continuing relationships with alumni. The program emphasizes artistic freedom, critical engagement with contemporary issues, international dialogue, and exchange across artistic disciplines. Its stated priorities include work that engages historical questions and contemporary discourse. Fellows become part of a community of international artists working within Berlin’s extensive cultural infrastructure. The organization also supports projects developed with cultural partners in Germany and internationally. The fellowship provides an extended period of financial stability and independent artistic development. Artists can focus on research, experimentation, writing, production development, and engagement with other practitioners without a required final production. The program supports public presentations when appropriate to the artist’s work, including performances, exhibitions, concerts, film projects, readings, and publications. Applicants follow a two-stage online process. After submitting personal information, they receive a personalized link to the application form. The portfolio submission consists of one PDF of up to 15 MB and online documentation selected according to the artistic category. Specialist juries review applications through a multistage selection process. The program typically communicates decisions following jury meetings held between March and May.
