The residency program takes place in the award-winning monument "Schießl-Haus" in Kollnburg. During the residencies at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR, guest artists are provided with living, working and exhibition spaces. The resident artists form a residential community in which each person has a private sleeping/working room. Visits by partners/guests are only possible for a limited period of time and in consultation with the Artistic Directors and the other participating resident artists. The resident artists are supervised by the Artistic Directors of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.
A jury consisting of the Artistic Directors of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR, representatives of the Municipality of Kollnburg, of the cooperation partners and of the advisory board decides on the awarding of the residency grants/commissions.
Criteria for the awarding of the residency grants are the quality and professionalism of the previous artistic work, the project proposal and an international/interdisciplinary occupancy of the artists’ residence.
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.
