Kulturhaus Steinfurth: Art & Culture in rural Germany (summer 2025)
Kultur- und Initiativenhaus Greifswald e.V.
Kunst und Natur e.V.
Steinfurth, Germany
Description
The culture house in Steinfurth is the perfect place for art and music in the middle of nature. In 2025 we are hosting residencies for artists and can use your help to implement this idea! We support contemporary creation by hosting artists or artist teams in residence. Theatre, dance, music, or puppet theatres that take the audience beyond their comfort zone. We are committed to a sensitive and networked approach to art that is linked to artistic and cultural education and social cohesion as well as to the values of hospitality, equality and diversity. We are looking for a volunteer to help us look after the artists, accompany their stay in organizational and practical matters, and support work and rehearsal processes. We expect an interest in artistic processes and empathy for the artists' working methods. Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications if a visa is needed. If you already have a valid visa for Germany (and your country of residence is not listed) please email us.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Our international volunteers have the opportunity to live in a flat at the Culture House. The flat has its own small kitchen, a small bathroom, and a tuned piano. In addition, the large studio is available for project work. You will receive food allowance each month and are responsible for your meals yourself. You will receive a monthly travel ticket. Karlsburg train station is 2 km away from the Kulturhaus, Swinoujscie (PL) and Berlin can be reached in a few hours by regional train. To Greifswald it takes about 20 minutes. In addition, a bicycle is available for excursions.
