FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES: SUPPORT THROUGH SPECIAL FESTIVAL FUNDS
curated group exhibitions, art in public spaces, project in the Kesselhaus of KINDL - Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst

The festival is based on the joint initiative and participation of artists, visitors and local residents. Voluntary commitment and the willingness to cooperate across disciplines are the prerequisite for the continuity of the festival. We are constantly working to make new financing possibilities and fees for artists possible. Thanks to a grant from the Berlin Senate, 48 Stunden Neukölln 2022 is able to support outstanding projects financially through the proportional payment of exhibition fees and material costs within a clearly defined framework.

General criteria applied to evaluate the project ideas are:
Creative implementation of the annual theme / Artistic quality / Innovation of the project proposal / Feasibility of implementation.
Further conditions of participation can be found at the bottom of this page.

A possible fee refers to three sub-areas: Please name your application clearly with Art Space Lab, Signal or Kesselhaus. Furthermore, the FB Kultur of the BA Neukölln offers an art grant for #48hnk2022.
