Short Description
VISIT is a fellowship programme run by the E.ON Stiftung. It provides emerging artists with the opportunity to create new work and pursue extraordinary projects.
In 2026, the JUNGE AKADEMIE of the Akademie der Künste, VISIT, the fellowship programme of the E.ON Foundation and E-WERK Luckenwalde will once again offer four fully funded fellowships to international artists. The programme supports projects operating at the intersection of art, energy and ecology, with a thematic focus on the topic of the human machine.
Eligibility
The call for proposals is aimed in particular at projects at the intersection of art, energy and ecology, which integrate realities, stories, histories, and myths from Europe and around the world, that address the social, political, natural, and cultural challenges of our time. How can we acknowledge and integrate the ghosts and ruins of our petro-cultural history in order to shape a regenerative future?
Artists of all disciplines are eligible to apply, with ideas focused on the conceptual theme of Mechanic Ghosts and Entangled Realities. For the new call, artists with a focus on sound, performance, film, and literature/poetry are particularly encouraged to apply

Successful fellows will be endowed with EUR 20,000. This grant is intended to be put towards production costs of a new project, which may include research and development, travel, material, and presentation costs.
Selected artists will have a studio space at E-WERK Luckenwalde or at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, between April – June 2026. During these three months, the fellows are expected to be living and working in the studios for at least 75 % of the time.
