“Since 1992 the Cultural Foundation of Hesse (Hessische Kulturstiftung) has been providing a scholarship programme of high renown for visual artists who were born in Hesse, have a permanent residence here or hold a diploma from a Hessian art academy. These scholarships are awarded every two years as 12 months travel grants or as a 12 months residence in one of the foundation’s studios in London, Paris or New York.”
