Overview
In order to promote the dialogue between the art and science, we offer a curator scholarship for a junior academic graduate (preferably art history). The focus of the scholarship is the realisation of an exhibition project of the Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral. With this project, the scholarship holder will be introduced into the curatorial practice. Within the close network between the visual artists, who are supported by the Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral and numerous universities and art institutions, it will be the task of the scholarship holder to actively participate in developing and organising activities, such as conferences, exhibitions etc.
Eligible candidates
The curatorial scholarship will be awarded to international applicants not older than 35 years or to those who graduated not longer than 5 years ago (M.A., preferably PhD). For applicants of a Curatorial Scholarship a full command of the German language as well as a sound knowledge of English or French is essential.
Benefits and requirements
The Balmoral Curatorial Scholarship is awarded for the period of six months. It is endowed with 1,200 € a month.
Balmoral’ s curatorial scholarship is an attendance scholarship. For the scholarship holder, a permanent residentship at Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral is obligatory during their stay in Bad Ems (secondary residence). The continuous stay in the Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral is binding.
The yearly term of residence begins in April.
The scholarship holder disposes of a furnished living/bedroom with shower/WC and a studio including electricity, water and heating. Each apartment is equipped with an individual telephone and internet access. If required, the room is also wired up for radio and television. Due to the historical condition of the building, the apartments and studios in terms of their size and equipment are normally only suitable for one single person. The lounge, the dining room and the kitchen are for joint use. Pets are not admitted.
Holders of the curatorial scholarship can use the in-house facilities (computer, copier etc.), necessary for their work for free. There is the library and a reading room with approx. 5,500 books, particularly on modern and contemporary art and the most important art magazines for research.
Together with the scholarship acceptance, the applicant will receive an agreement concluded with the Künstlerhaus and the house rules. After the signing of the contract by the scholarship holder, the scholarship is regarded as legally granted.
Scholarship holders are required to write a report about their stay afterwards.
Selection procedure
The selection committee normally consists of one chairperson and seven members of the jury who are expert representatives of the following professional groups:
• an art critic
• a museum director or curator
• a representative of the studies of Fine Arts from a university or an art academy
• a member of the artists associations in the Federal State of Rhineland-Palatinate
• a visual artist

New members of the jury are nominated on a rotational basis at 12- to 24-month intervals.
The members of the jury make their choice according to the quality of the work samples applicants have to hand in together with their application (for more details see Application documents).
Application procedure
All scholarships are announced publicly.
Double applications to the Künstlerhaus Schloß Balmoral and the Ministry for Education, Science, Youth and Culture of the Federal State of Rhineland-Palatinate are not acceptable.

There is no legal claim to obtaining a scholarship. The applicants will not receive any reasons in writing for the decision made on the awarding of the scholarships, but will be informed of the result.
