Three paths
01 · Funded · open calls
Funded positions are announced when the budget allows. Each call defines its own conditions, from accommodation and curatorial support to travel costs and an artist fee. The current call sits at the top of this page; future calls will be listed at /apply/open-call and announced in the newsletter.
02 · Sliding scale · year-round
Application and selection apply as with any stay; what changes is how the contribution is paid. Artists choose their contribution within a transparent range, whether based on their means, through a grant that covers the stay, or as a gesture of support. This is how most artists come to us.
03 · Collaboration · proposals
Concepts, projects, or ideas that resonate within a shared context can be proposed at any time. Some enter through programme-specific formats, others through arrangements we develop together. Each collaboration takes the shape that fits it, in recognition that mutual contribution does not always come in the form of money.
How to apply
Describe your work, what you would use the time for, and when you are thinking of coming. Include links, scores, or images. No fixed format required. What follows is a conversation about your project and whether the residency is the right context for it.
Frequently asked
Can I bring a partner or family?
Sometimes, depending on capacity and programme. Ask us.
Do I need to speak BCS?
No. English and German work fine.
Can I come in winter?
Yes. The house is heated with wood. You participate in keeping the fire going.
How does the sliding scale work?
You choose what you can afford within the range (€15–50/day). The system operates on trust and keeps the residency accessible without external funding.
