Support for the Ruth Schmidt Stockhausen Foundation

The funding provided by the Ruth Schmidt Stockhausen Foundation is aimed at private individuals as well as non-profit organizations in Lower Saxony and is dedicated to preserving the artistic legacy of the painter and graphic artist Ruth Schmidt Stockhausen (1922–2014). As a grant provider, the foundation supports projects in the fields of visual arts (fine painting, graphics, sculpture), poetry, chamber music, as well as at the intersections of art and natural sciences. By awarding funds, innovative initiatives are supported that carry forward the artistic heritage and enable new impulses between cultural and scientific disciplines. The ongoing application process ensures that project ideas can be reviewed and funded at any time. The ruthschmidtstockhausen.de/Foundation thus not only preserves the memory of the artist but also sustainably strengthens the regional cultural landscape.

Artists and cultural practitioners benefit from an unbureaucratic funding approach aimed at the implementation of creative concepts in literature, music, and visual arts. In particular, projects that build interdisciplinary bridges and pursue experimental approaches at the interface of art and natural sciences are honored. The non-profit foundation relies on close cooperation with applicants and provides advice on content orientation and project planning. Through the continuous provision of grants, the organization supports the realization of ambitious projects in the cultural sector and promotes the visibility of outstanding works at both regional and supra-regional levels.
