The “Dresden Grant in Photography“, awarded by the Dresdner Stiftung Kunst & Kultur der Ostsächsischen Sparkasse Dresden and the Technische Sammlungen Dresden, addresses photographers who work independently or full-time as photographers and/or have an artistic degree, can demonstrate at least one public solo exhibition or publication with her/his works of photography and who do not permanently reside in Dresden.

The intention of the residency grant is to offer contemporary photographers the free­dom to realize their artistic ideas and enable them to engage with urban society and culture in Dresden.

The grant supports artistic and documentary projects that focus on photographic im­ages and processes. The photographic exploration of the city of Dresden should play a central role, without necessarily limiting the artistic work to urban photography in a strict sense. On-site presence is expected.
