Follow Fluxus – Grant 2025/26

In cooperation with the Hessian state capital, the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden has been awarding the grant “Follow Fluxus – Fluxus and the Consequences” annually since 2008. With seventeen artists supported to date, the aim of the grant is to promote international artists whose work engages with the transnational, multicultural, and interdisciplinary art movement Fluxus. With the legendary event series “Fluxus International Festival of Very New Music” held in Wiesbaden in 1962, a central foundation was laid for the ongoing international reception of Fluxus.

Grant / Scholarship

The grant provides the recipient with funding of EUR 10,000 and includes a three-month residency from June to August 2026. During this time, the grantee may live and work rent-free in the Atelierhaus of the Kunsthaus Wiesbaden. A fully furnished living/sleeping area with shower/WC as well as a studio (totaling 70.88 sqm) are made available free of charge.

Following the residency, an exhibition of the works created during this period will be presented on the third floor of the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden.

To foster new networks and strengthen existing connections, it is expected that the artist will reside primarily in Wiesbaden during the term of the grant.

The submitted project proposal should engage with the ideas and practices of the Fluxus movement and make a significant contribution to its further development and contemporary transformation in the 21st century. Artists are invited to formulate their visions in this spirit and, through creative and innovative approaches, open up new perspectives on Fluxus-related artistic practices.

The program supports international and national artists from all fields of visual and performing arts who can demonstrate a completed degree in art as well as relevant practical and exhibition experience. Applications from self-taught artists who have distinguished themselves through outstanding artistic achievements, documented by exhibitions and awards, are also welcome.
