IG Rote Fabrik Artists in Residency Programme

IG Rote Fabrik is allocating a work studio in Switzerland to a professional, foreign artist for a period of 3 months at the end of 2024. They will be provided with a generous studio space, apartment, artistic environment and general support. With this Artists in Residency program they encourage intercultural exchange in the fields of visual arts, dance, theatre, music, film, literature etc. They want to offer an artist the opportunity to gather refreshing impressions while immersing themselves in a new environment, extend their network and develop their artistic practice. The artist is free to spend their time as they see fit (e.g. research, artistic exchange, developing and producing new work etc.). At the end of the stay the public will be invited to an open studio, during which the artist can present their work in a fitting format of their choosing.
