Keramikkünstlerhaus Neumünster

Keramikkuenstlerhaus (ceramic artist house) is an artist house based in Neumuenster in Schleswig-Holstein which has been awarding work and residence grants exclusively for outstanding graduates from the field of artistic ceramics since 1987. In this form it is unique in Germany. The scholarship holders come from Germany and abroad. The artist house is located in the Fürsthof, a small street in the historic city center of Neumuenster. The brick building was built around 1900.

The Dr. Hans Hoch Foundation runs the Keramikkünstlerhaus in the historical city center of Neumünster. It is a special working and meeting place for contemporary ceramic art, which has already been shaped by numerous international artists. The activities of the artist house includes regular exhibitions and workshops.

Since 2013 the international program “Ceramic Artist in Residence” has offered artists the opportunity to live, work and exhibit free of charge in the residency house. The focus of this scholarship program is on the exploration of contemporary positions in free ceramics, intercultural dialogue as well as experiments with materials and audiences. The program “Ceramic Artist Exchange – Tandem” has been in existence since 2016 and focuses in particular on the exchange of different generations of artists.
