PACT Zollverein artistic residency in Essen, Germany
Listing summary: This PACT Zollverein artistic residency in Essen is a structured, funded creative residency hosted by PACT Zollverein (Essen, Germany). It is aimed at professional artists and cultural professionals (often early-career) working in fields like dance, performance, media arts, film or sound. The PACT Zollverein artistic residency in Essen includes workspace and usually offers accommodation and financial support, so it is not a typical volunteer exchange. Please verify the latest open calls and deadlines directly with the organisers.
Important: This is a funded artistic residency (scholarship style), not a volunteer role. The organiserโs website describes the residency programme as running throughout the year with open calls advertised twice a year, and the residency itself is typically planned individually (often 3 to 6 weeks). Always check the current conditions and funding details on the official page.
