Call for Applications for the Artist-in-Residence-Programme 2018
Application deadline: September 18, 2017
In co-operation with KulturKontakt Austria, the Austrian Federal Chancellery makes available
50 residencies in Austria (Vienna and Salzburg) for the year 2018.
Applications can be submitted via the Artists in Residence online platform
https://work.artists-in-residence-austria.at/. The residency is designed to offer an opportunity to familiarise oneself with the Austrian art
scene and cultural environment and to make contact with Austrian artists. Residents are
expected to complete a project during their stay. In the field of cultural education, the stay
is primarily designed to foster exchanges and networking and not the realisation of a
project.
During their stay, the artists in residence will be made familiar with the art scene and
cultural environment. Activities on offer include visits at galleries, studios and museums,
contacts to the literature and publishing sector, as well as access to Vienna’s or Salzburg’s
music life. Whenever possible, the residents will receive free tickets for art and book fairs,
performances at the Tanzquartier Wien, the international ImPuls Tanz dance festival and
other events. During their stay in Salzburg, the artists in residence will be taken care of by
Kunstverein Salzburg.
There is the possibility of participating actively in the Artists-in-Residence-go-to-School-
Programme of KulturKontakt Austria (the programme includes workshops at Austrian
schools).
This call is open to artists whose permanent place of residence is outside of Austria and who
have completed their training. Austrian citizens cannot apply for this programme.
A high level of proficiency in English or German is required in order to enable participants to
engage in a creative dialogue in an international context. Participants are obliged to submit
a final report about their stay.
The age limit for applicants is 40 years, i.e. the applicants’ date of birth has to be after the
31 December 1977. If an application is submitted by a duo at least one of the artists has to
be under the age of 40.
Artists who have already participated in artist-in-residence-programmes organised by
KulturKontakt Austria, the Austrian Federal Chancellery or the Austrian Federal Ministry of
Education, the Arts and Culture are not eligible for participation.
The artists in residence will be selected by sector-specific expert juries.
When submitting an application, applicants agree to parts of their application file (CV and
examples of work) being forwarded to third parties for the purpose of organising exhibitions,
readings, concerts, lectures etc.
You are urgently requested to heed the sector-specific information on the following pages!

cultural institutions.
