Art residency for Audiovisual artists in Switzerland-Festival Schlossmediale 2027

Residency: 17 May – 27 June 2027 5 weeks Festival: 17–26 June 2027 1 week (the artist are expected to stay during al the duration the festival)

The three artists awarded the grant will live in a historical, charming house in the small, picturesque town of Werdenberg at the foot of the castle. Each will have a room at their disposal for the duration of the residency, as well as a shared kitchen, a shared living room and a small, shared bathroom. An open, considerate and sociable attitude is necessary for the cohabitation to function smoothly during the residency period; it is hoped that living together may bring additional value in terms of inspiration.

Long-term stays in the house by friends and relatives are not encouraged due to lack of space. It is important that any visits are organised by the grant holders themselves in consultation with each other. There is only limited working space. Relatively small rooms in various houses can be made available for the purpose. No studios exist; the grant holders would have to arrange these individually in the locality. However, a few exhibition spaces in the castle can be used from an early stage, circumstances permitting.
