Supporting the Arts - I join in!
The association supports the work of the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe with great commitment. We promote and finance student projects, lectures, conferences and professionalisation programmes for graduates.
As a central support measure, we regularly award travel scholarships that enable students to spend time in art metropolises such as New York, Milan, Amsterdam or Vienna. Selected reports of travels by the scholarship holders, you can read below:

The Friends of the Academy occasionally take part in renting vacant spaces in downtown Karlsruhe as exhibition rooms for students.
The Circle of Friends also maintains contact with the students by visiting their studios during the summer exhibition. The members are present at the openings of masterclass student, diploma and graduate exhibitions. At the same time, the association also offers the opportunity to meet the professors. This takes place in the form of studio and exhibition visits.
Members of the association are also welcome to attend the Tuesday lecture series hosted by the Art Academy, which takes place at 7 pm in the lecture hall. During the lecture period, artists and art scholars are invited to give insights into their work and research. The Friends of the Academy receive information and invitations via the mailing list.
