LiTE-HAUS is a non-profit organization (Ad Finem gGmbH). However, this is not a grant-funded exhibition. Artists co-fund the show with LiTE-HAUS based on the number of artworks and size. No application fee.

DONATION: There is some flexibility because artists might apply with different sizes. If your work is accepted we will tell you exactly how much to donate at that time. But here's a guideline:

Small artworks (under 40cm) donate €20 for the first artwork, €10 each additional work accepted.

Medium artworks (over 40cm, less than 70cm) donate €30 for the first artwork, €20 each additional work accepted.

Large artworks (over 70cm) donate €40 per artwork, regardless of the number of artworks selected.

Measurements must include the frame. Donations for heavy or very big artworks will be determined if selected.

10% sales commission will be taken for this exhibition.

Artists cannot choose where the artwork will hang in the gallery rooms. We will install your work and gallery-sit.

We do not need to know the name of your work or the price for this application. We will get that information later if you are accepted. Name your files: LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_WIDTHxHEIGHT_NUMBER.
