Each artistic director works at M.1 for 18 months. They determine the center’s artistic program and its direction during that time, and organize the call for entries and awarding of the artist grants.
The Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung fosters visual art and culture through three programmes (M.1 kuratieren, Advancement Awards, M.1 Lokal) and takes care of the listed building "Högerbau".
M.1 kuratieren
Advancement Awards
The Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung grants two advancement awards every two years. Recipient artists were born in, reside in or studied in northern Germany.
M.1 Lokal
M.1 Lokal stands for the foundation’s activities, which are conceived mostly in collaboration with people on-location, for the locality. The program has been running since 2010.
Högerbau
The Soldatenheim building, designed by the North German architect Fritz Höger, has been listed in 1998 and is currently undergoing renovation. It is planned to contain guest apartments and studios for the Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung’s artists’ residency programme, as well as rental flats and a café.
