Facilities
The residency program takes place in the monument award-winning "Schießl-Haus" in Kollnburg. During the three-month residency at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR, the guest artists are provided with living, working and exhibition spaces. The guests form a residential community in which each artist has a private room. The artists in residence are supervised by the artistic directors of the SCHIESSLHAUS AIR. For everyday concerns there is a direct contact person on site.
The modern and functional furnishings of the artists’ residence create optimal living and working conditions. On the first floor of the artists’ residence are the common areas: a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen with a seating area, a storage room, and two sanitary rooms (bathroom and toilet). The upper floor is divided into three spacious individual rooms. The light-flooded, shared studio (approx. 22 sqm) is also located on the upper floor. Additionally, the individual private rooms can be used as workrooms.

A special feature of the selection process and the awarding of SCHIESSLHAUS AIR resident is the nomination of an artist by the applying artists. The nomination procedure will be carried out up to a maximum number of 100 applications. After the application deadline, the applicants are involved in the selection process by being given the opportunity to nominate an artist for the residency. For this purpose, all applicants who have agreed to participate in the nomination process will receive an e-mail notification after the application deadline with the information „first and last name, discipline and website“ of those artists who have also agreed to the nomination process, and can subsequently select a favorite and send the proposal by e-mail to the artistic directors of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.
