Werkleitz has at its disposal various funding schemes which enable it to support young artists both from Saxony-Anhalt and the international art world, whose work primarily addresses digital technology and new media. Artists in receipt of funding generally produce their projects in Halle (Saale), where the premiere presentation also takes place.
These funding opportunities have given rise to new formats such as the Supported Artist programme, which have proved effective in establishing young artists’ careers. Grants and scholarships are awarded in cooperation with the respective funding partners such as the EU Commission or the Kassel Documentary and Video Festival.
