OPEN CALL – ARTIST RESIDENCY FOR PARTICIPATORY PROJECTS

We are looking for artists and creative professionals from all artistic and creative fields (visual arts, theater, music, film, literature, design, architecture, crafts) who are interested in developing and implementing a participatory art project in the Bavarian Forest over a period of three months.

The residencies take place at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR in Kollnburg or at BILD-WERK FRAUENAU in Frauenau.

What is it about?
In the DEMOKRATIE UNPLUGGED — KUNST FÜR ALLE project, the artist residencies are linked to an artistic and cultural mission. Each year, a total of about ten artists participate in the residency program for three months each, either at the Schiesslhaus AiR in Kollnburg or at the Bild-Werk Frauenau.

During their stay, the artists are actively involved in the region. Through regular project and workshop days, they collaborate with schools, clubs, initiatives, and/or village communities to develop artistic projects that foster exchange, participation, and creative collaboration.

The focus is on working with local people. Together with a core group, we develop artistic projects that foster exchange, enable participation, and explore new forms of community. The work is participatory, open, process-oriented, and takes shape directly through engagement with the region.

Application deadline: June 30, 2026
