Application for the Art School Alliance

Conditions of participation

For HFBK outgoings, the ASA program comprises two phases: one semester of dedicated participation as a “buddy” in the student exchange in Hamburg and a further semester for a study visit abroad at one of the partner universities.

Supporting an ASA incoming in Hamburg as a “buddy” is a central component of the exchange; a guest abroad should also be a host at home.

Being a “buddy” includes, among other things

• picking up the incomings from the airport/train station and handing over the welcome folder with all documents,

• joint exploration of the ASA residence and its surroundings,

• supporting the incomings in registering at the district office, opening an account and, if necessary, taking out health insurance,

• support with initial orientation at the university and in Hamburg

• information about and, if necessary, accompaniment to exhibitions in Hamburg,

• participation in the ASA Open Studios including set-up and dismantling,

• support with problems.

The acceptance for the stay abroad can be withdrawn if the sponsorship is not carried out reliably and with commitment.

Successful participation in the ASA program is concluded with a final report (approx. 2 A4 pages and photo or mixed-media documentation).
