FREE ENTRY / Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt - Call for Applications 2025

The Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt was founded to counteract the structural discrimination of women* visual artists in exhibitions and on the art market. It admits 15 women* visual artists per year and runs for 12 months, from the end of January to December. The programme takes place on a weekly basis, every Thursday and Friday, along with 3–4 intensive weeks.

What you get: The course content includes an analysis of the participant’s current position and aims in artistic practice, training in verbal and work presentation, and essential knowledge for self-employment such as tax, financing, and copyright. It also covers Berlin’s art scene through excursions, seminars, discussions, and networking opportunities. Participants will plan and realise a personal website and a catalogue brochure, culminating in a final group exhibition in autumn. The seminars are led by experienced art historians and producers, with guests including curators, gallery owners, artists, and other experts. With over 450 alumnae and an ever-growing network, Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt provides a solid foundation. It is co-funded by the European Union (European Social Fund Plus) and the Federal State of Berlin, subject to approval, covering the programme costs.
