The SCHIESSLHAUS AiR program offers the guest artists a high-publicity platform to present their artistic work. During their three-month residency, the artists in residence participate in three public events of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR program: the Jour Fixe, the Kollnburg Art Sunday and the Final Exhibition at the end of the residency period.
Within the framework of various events, the interested public regularly has the opportunity to gain insights into the artistic work and life in the artists’ residence, and to enter into dialogue with the artists in residence. In addition, the residence occasionally opens its doors for guided tours, summer festivals and other events, for example on the occasion of the
“Ateliers in Niederbayern” (Open Studios of the District of Lower Bavaria (Next time: Autumn 2024) or the nationwide “Open Monument Day” (Sun, September 10, 2023).

Further information on exhibitions and events:
The opening event of each residency period is the “Jour-Fixe” – a welcome and get-to-know meeting between the curators, the guest artists and the host community.
The guest artists introduce themselves and their artistic practice/projects to the local public and are brought into contact with various local actors. In order to promote interdisciplinary exchange, to open up new perspectives and to stimulate productive discourse, an expert from a field other than the visual arts is invited to the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR for a workshop. The changing thematic focuses of the Jours Fixes are related to the annual theme of the AiR program.
About halfway through each residency there is a fixed date: the Kollnburg Art Sunday/Open Studios, on which the guest artists present to the host community and the interested public what they are working on during their residency at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR in Kollnburg. These project presentations are of a more informal nature, for example studio visits, artist talks, lectures, performances or interventions – depending on the artistic projects of the guest artists. Art workshops with different population groups are also possible.
At the final exhibitions of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR program, the guest artists present selected artworks and projects realized during their respective residencies in a curated group exhibition. The final exhibitions take place in the “Altes Spital” in Viechtach and are accompanied by a public education program.
Britta Wahlers, media artist and art educator
Art and culture are among the indispensable components of our social coexistence and make an important contribution to the personality development of children and young people. An important part of the Education and Participation Program of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR are cooperation programs with local schools.
Within the framework of cooperation projects with regional educational institutions (elementary and secondary schools), selected artists are invited to conduct art educational and artistic workshops with pupils and students independently of the residency program. In addition, SCHIESSLHAUS AiR offers artistic programs for local vacation programs.
Through an age-appropriate program, primary and secondary school children can actively and creatively engage with contemporary art and culture. During the art educational workshops, which take place either at the artists’ residence or at the schools, they get to know different areas, themes and techniques of the Fine Arts. The children and young people get the opportunity to experiment with different techniques and materials (depending on the chosen means of expression), to test their artistic and craft skills and to create their own works of art together with the artists. The artworks are presented at the end of the workshops in the scope of a joint exhibition at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.
The workshop EITHER OR with the “Kunstklassen” (art classes) of the secondary school Dominicus-von-Linprun-Gymnasium Viechtach is led by artist Richard Vogl and art educator Britta Wahlers. It will take place on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, 2022 in the premises of the artists’ residence. The students will have the opportunity to work with special oil pastels and specially created backgrounds. In the course, different approaches will be presented and carried out, starting from spontaneous sketching through pictorial condensation to painting. The focus is on the own will to express and the demands of the image itself. The work of the students will then be presented in the scope of a joint exhibition context on April 30, 2022 from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.
The art educational workshop EITHER OR is a cooperation project with the KUNSTKLASSE of the Dominicus-von-Linprun-Gymnasium Viechtach under the direction of artist Richard Vogl and art educator Britta Wahlers. It is sponsored by the Stiftung van de Loo, Munich.
“Wooden Fantasy Creatures” is an art project by painter Georg Fuchssteiner and graphic artist and modeler Peter Herr with the Kollnburg Elementary School. It will take place from May 4 – May 6, 2022. The two artists are based in Bogen and Berlin. Since 2011, they have been running the PHANTASIEWERKSTATT BOGEN, where artists teach various artistic disciplines such as painting, printing, woodcutting and ceramic techniques. The PHANTASIEWERKSTATT also creates space for experimental design. With art educational expertise, the two artists will introduce the role and profession of an artist to children in the third and fourth grade of elementary school. Inspired by a story, the children will make sketches, on the basis of which they create colored wooden figures. Moreover, the effect on the viewer and the interplay of colors are taught theoretically and put into practice.
The presentation of the artworks in an exhibition at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR will give the children the opportunity to share the ideas that they have developed during the two-day workshop with their parents and the public.
At the end of the three-day workshop “Wooden Fantasy Creatures” with artists Georg Fuchssteiner and Peter Herr, the works of art created by the children will be presented in the scope of joint exhibition. Parents and teachers are cordially invited to the vernissage on Friday, May 6, 2022 at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.
The art project “Wooden Fantasy Creatures” is part of the program “Künstler in der Grundschule” of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Culture, Science and the Arts, supported by the Government of Lower Bavaria and the Municipality of Kollnburg.
Part of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR program is the CZECH-BAVARIAN ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2022. In cooperation of the municipality of Kollnburg with Plzeň 2015 two artists from Bavaria and two artists from Czechia will be invited between July and September 2022 for a two-months summer residency at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR in Kollnburg. The cooperation project consists of a transboundary artist residency program and a public program with lectures, workshops, open studios and a final exhibition. The focus of the cooperation is the support of contemporary art and the encouragement of intercultural encounters in the Bavarian-Bohemian border region.
The SCHIESSLHAUS AiR: CZECH-BAVARIAN ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM 2022 is supported by EUREGIO “Bayerischer Wald – Böhmerwald – Unterer Inn” in the scope of the program “Freistaat Bayern – Tschechische Republik Ziel ETZ 2014-2020”.
Application requirement for the Czech-Bavarian residency program (residency period C) is a connection to Bavaria and/or the Czech Republic (place of birth and/or place of residence).
