Artist-in-Residence Program
Become a committed partner for a program that promotes contemporary art on Föhr and offers the residents and guests of the island a lot of inspiration at the cutting edge.

Since 2010, the Museum Kunst der Westküste has been actively inviting artists to Alkersum as artists-in-residence for a period of inspiration and work. We have already welcomed over 30 international artists, whose work - in very different media - is thematically linked in the broader sense of ‘sea and coast’.
The Artist-In-Residence program requires your help with funding for travel expenses, generous accommodation with living and working space, material and maintenance and other costs. We want to enable our artists to enjoy a relaxed artistic residency at the museum and on the island of Föhr. We can achieve this with the help of a basic grant of 12,000 euros per year.
Become a sponsor for the next artists travelling to us. In 2025, we welcomed artist Ulrike Schmitz from Berlin, Danish artist Nicolas Howalt, Sophia Pompéry from Berlin, Susan Sidebottom from the United States, German-French artist Jean Noël Schramm and others. With your help, we want to invite many more to Föhr!
