Open Call
The next Open Call will be published here in February 2026.
Applicant Profile
The open call is aimed at Jewish students and young adults who are critical of antisemitism. It is particularly aimed at people who aspire to a career in the arts, alumni of art colleges, and those who have been excluded from artistic spaces due to calls for boycott. We also welcome anyone who was involved in artistic or creative groups before October 7, 2023, and is now unable to do so, as well as those who feel connected to artists and creatives affected and share similar experiences.
What we're offering
As part of the Jewish School of Art, participants have the opportunity to take part in a master class led by internationally renowned artists. The program covers a wide range of artistic disciplines, including visual arts, literature, and performing arts. Mentors from various disciplines contribute their expertise to support selected participants in developing and implementing their project ideas. The “artistic safe spaces” created at the Jewish School of Art provide room for intensive exchange, artistic development, and personal reflection. All courses are offered in English. The courses take place on individual days as well as in blocks lasting several days. Participation in the program is free of charge, but participants are responsible for their own accommodation costs in Berlin and pay a deposit of €50, which will be refunded after successful completion of the course.
