re:stART – exchange, connect, reflect
To further expand and professionalize the residency program at Quartier am Hafen, we have been receiving funding from the RheinenergieStiftung Kultur since 2024. Under the title re:stART – connect, exchange, reflect, we are initially planning to cooperate with other international partners this year in order to achieve full occupancy of our residency studios.
You can find the entries of the current residency guests in our digital guest book on Instagram.
GENRES
Interdisciplinarity is a top priority at Quartier am Hafen, which is reflected in the concept of the residency program, so that international artists from a wide range of artistic disciplines are represented in our residency program.




COOPERATION COUNTRIES
We cooperate with both large and small institutions and initiatives in the art and culture context. These include the Goethe Institute, the Kyoto Art Center in Kyoto, the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv (Israel), and many more.







REGIONAL NETWORK
Quartier am Hafen maintains partnerships with local and regional festivals, initiatives and cultural institutions. By providing our premises, our network and our know-how, we support the vibrant cultural scene in the region and promote artistic exchange. The cooperation is based on a continuous dialogue with our partners. Together, we analyze the individual needs and develop tailor-made forms of cooperation. Each partnership is unique
