THE RESIDENCY

Do not expect a structured workshop. This three-month art residency is a high-commitment collective focus built for artists who are done with procrastination and ready to put all excuses aside. We gather every weekend at Fabrik der Künste in Hamburg to eat together, exchange, and push through our deepest blocks.

This is your explicit permission to go all-in, experiment, and make messes that scare you (fully supported by a curated, like-minded collective).

Stop creating polite art. The world needs your raw, unfiltered truth.

The breakthrough happens the moment you stop waiting for permission.

  • Current Cycle: Fully booked (Running until November 2026)

  • Next Cycle: March / April / May 2027

  • Availability: Strictly limited to 5 artists per cycle.
