The Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung was established in 2003 as a non-profit foundation based in Hohenlockstedt, Schleswig-Holstein. Since 2007, it has been actively dedicated to promoting visual arts and culture on the M.1 premises in Hohenlockstedt. Central to its approach is the combination of an international programme with local cultural activities, in a rural area. The programmes at M.1 are curated by changing artistic directors. Two separate, fully equipped guest appartments are available on the upper floor of the building. In addition, a communal kitchen, a library and a communal studio space are free for use. The house has a separate playroom for children, as well as a spacious garden.
