The Parents in Arts Residency Grant is announced in cooperation with theMinistry of Culture and Media Hamburg. It is explicitly aimed at artists and authors who are parents. Grants in the cultural sector are often difficult to reconcile with family responsibilities and care work. Against this background, the Ministry of Culture and Media Hamburg launched the Parents in Arts grant programme in 2024. As a cooperation partner, we provide the guest apartments at M.1, coordinate the application process, and support the grant recipients during their stay in Hohenlockstedt.
