Participating in a funding program can be an inspiring and rewarding opportunity for artists and cultural practitioners. Our residency programs focus on professional development, artistic exchange, and facilitating artistic research and processes. We believe that conceptualizing and creating new work in a different location and context fosters creative thinking, promotes experimentation, and offers new perspectives. Residencies often offer opportunities for collaboration with other artists, allowing their practices to thrive and unfold. The Goethe-Institut provides the framework for such opportunities through calls for proposals, residencies, and other exciting initiatives. Get involved!

The Goethe-Institut's funding programs are aimed at artists and cultural actors from the following cultural sectors:
  • Architecture
  • Literature, Translation, Library
  • Visual Arts
  • Design
  • Film
  • Cultural Theory, Science, Curation
  • Music
  • Dance & Theater

Translation Funding Program

The Goethe-Institut's translation funding program supports foreign publishers in the publication of German literature. Our aim is to make it easier for an international audience to access German-language contemporary literature, non-fiction and books for children and young people, as well as important academic titles and non-fiction books.
