Jury meeting and further procedure
An expert jury of members from the ministry of culture and science, the Kunsthaus NRW, one art school professor and one art critic will choose seven candidates from the incoming applications. First, the appointed mentees will be notified via e-mail. Then, in the next step, the matching phase is initialized. During those, the mentee can name three mentors with whom she or he would like to work. Subsequently, the mentors are called to make their vote on the mentees. Applicants are encouraged to learn more about our mentors on our website (see “Mentor:innen”).
