Musicboard-Berlin > Funding > Residencies

Musicboard’s residency programme gives Berlin pop musicians the opportunity to work creatively in a new setting, whether in Germany or abroad. With Co-Creation Residencies, Musicboard also welcomes international musicians to stay in Berlin. These residencies serve to further the internationalisation of Berlin’s pop music scene and establish long-term, transnational co-production. They promote interdisciplinary exchange and artistic experimentation. Musicboard’s residency programme networks over a dozen residencies worldwide.
