About Werner-Kühl-Stiftung

Werner-Kühl-Stiftung is a regional arts foundation in Syke that preserves the artistic legacy of local painter Werner Kühl while supporting emerging artists from the surrounding area. Its giving appears to center on an artist prize rather than open-ended grantmaking, with a clear emphasis on recognizing promising young talent connected to the region. The foundation seems closely tied to local cultural institutions and community stakeholders, suggesting a strong place-based mission with selective, prestige-oriented support.

Giving Approach

Primarily awards a recurring artist prize (Werner-Kühl-Preis), likely through a juried or nomination-based process rather than open grant applications. Support appears to be periodic, selective, and focused on individual artists rather than organizations, with award recipients spanning multiple years.

How to approach this funder

Expect a prize-style, likely invite- or jury-based process rather than a general application portal. Artists from the region should monitor the Werner-Kühl-Preis website and local cultural announcements for eligibility rules, deadlines, and nomination procedures.
