The new host country, from which around half of the new fellowship holders will come, is the CZECH REPUBLIC! They will work from Bamberg for 5 or 11 months starting in April 2026.

This had previously been proposed by our Board of Curators to the Bavarian Minister of Culture. The names of our new guests have been announced in a press release from the Ministry:

You are cordially invited to their welcome reception on May 19, 2026, at 7 p.m.! Moderator: Nora-Eugenie Gomringer.

Although the Künstlerhaus building is not barrier-free, admission is free of charge.
