Studios spaces available in the Bonner Kunstverein's studio building

The studio building of Bonner Kunstverein has offered subsidized studio spaces for artists from Bonn and the surrounding region since 2004. Located in Bonn’s “Altstadt”, the studio building comprises a total of eight workspaces for artists. These studios can be rented for up to 30 months. The call for applications is primarily aimed at artists living in Bonn and the Rhineland. The artists in the studio building are members of Bonner Kunstverein and also make an important contribution to contemporary art in the region.
As of 15 March 2026, or at the latest by 1 April 2026, two studios will become available. A minimum requirement to apply for one of the two studio spaces is the completion of at least a preliminary diploma or an equivalent degree in the field of fine arts, or several years of professional activity as a visual artist. Applications will be submitted to a jury, which will make recommendations for the allocation of the studios.

The available studios are:
- Atelier 3: ca. 30 m², Miete: 180 € pro Monat zzgl. Nebenkosten
- Atelier 8: ca. 28 m² (befindet sich im Kellergeschoss), Miete: 120 € pro Monat zzgl. Nebenkosten.

Please send your applications in digital form (preferably via WeTransfer, Dropbox or Google Drive) by 1 March 2026 (indicating which studio you prefer) to: kontakt@bonner-kunstverein.de. Former applicants may apply again. It is also possible to apply as a duo and share a studio.
