Apply now for the Professional development programme for visual artists. Applications from Juli 1 until September 15, 2025. The Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt has been run by Goldrausch Frauennetzwerk e. V. since 1989. It was founded to counteract the structural discrimination of female visual artists in exhibitions and on the art market. Now more than ever, it is not enough to just make good art! It is our aim to promote FLINTA who pursue their career as freelance artists, helping them gain further practical knowledge and creating a public arena for their work. The programme is tailored specifically to meet the objectives of the participants. The course combines practical tasks with insights into the art world, presentation techniques and communication strategies. The funding covers the costs of the programme.

Goldrausch Künstlerinnenprojekt
