Advisory Board and Selecting Committee



The work of the Künstlerhaus Lukas and the Neues Kunsthaus is supported by an artistic advisory board. It advises on the overall development of the content and initiates synergies for the best possible promotion of work residencies and presentations of artistic works from the scholarship programme. The advisory board appoints a new jury of experts every two years to select the scholarship holders after a call for proposals and guarantees their independence. The jury usually consists of eight expert jurors, who are announced after the closing date.

The members of the advisory board are proposed by the members of the association and appointed by the board for a period of five years. The advisory board is made up of representatives of contemporary art movements and cultural institutions from Northern Germany, the countries around the Baltic Sea and selected countries in Northern Europe. It works on an honorary basis. The advisory board was first constituted on 30 July 2005.

The current advisory board was appointed on 1 April 2023 and has the following members:
