This scholarship opportunity is open to everyone including US citizens however the project itself must take place in a European country where RWE is represented. “The VISIT programme of the RWE Foundation promotes young artists by offering them a free space for pursuing individual design work. At the invitation of the Foundation, the selected artists develop their respective project over a period of about three months. Depending on the topic, this takes place at a German or also possibly an international location of the company. The artistic work should have an explicit reference to RWE, the topic of energy, and its social relevance.” Preference is given to the use of electronic media, i.e. the fields of photography…
