ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE KREMS

1. Allocation of Support

The awarding of artist studios (guest studios) is one of the forms of the material endowment of the arts listed in the Lower Austrian Kulturförderungsgesetz (state law for the endowment of the arts) 1996. In coordination with the Lower Austrian Department of Culture and Science, the Kunstmeile Krems is entitled to allocate the studio apartments in Krems made available by the state government of Lower Austria in 2000 and to integrate project partners; moreover, it also receives funds from the state government of Lower Austria for the purpose of financing grants in conjunction with the provision of these artist studios.

The awarding of the studio apartments and grant money is intended to allow foreign artists to work in Lower Austria and get to know different cultural institutions in this country, to encourage an internationalization of the art of our country by bringing the invited foreign artists in contact with the Austrian art scene, and to foster a process of interdisciplinary exchange in the area of art.

2. Applying

Applicants can be artists from the areas of visual arts, music, sound art, literature, and architecture. Austrian artists are not eligible to apply.

Participants will be determined by an advisory council for the given discipline. The application deadline for each upcoming year is May 30.

Applicants must submit the following documents:

1.	Résumé in chart form, including artistic career and a list of previous grants (scholarships)

2.	Statement of the applicant’s artistic objectives during the residency [max. three European DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm) pages]

3.	Not more than 10 images or other representative visual material (no slides or Ektachrome) of current artistic work, plans, etc. [max. size European DIN A3 (297 x 420 mm)]

4.	Relevant support documentation, scanned images of articles, reviews or exhibition catalogues.

5.	At least 5 but not more than 10 text samples

6.	Video, music, sound art: not more than five video cassettes (VHS) or DVDs.

7.	Applications with all above are to be presented as a PDF with contents page, and listed sequentially in the above order.

Upon rejection, submitted material will be sent back by mail at the applicant’s own cost.

3. Terms of Award

The basic prerequisite for funding is a degree in a field of art (university level). If the applicant does not have a university degree, proof of equivalent ability must be provided through his or her artistic career. In any case, the applicant must demonstrate regular artistic activity in the proposed areas of funding.

In general, the duration of residency is currently limited to three months, but an extension is possible if space is available. Studio and living quarters will be provided free of charge. In addition, the artist-in-residence will also receive a sum of 1,000 euros per month. This amount shall be paid in cash and written confirmation of receipt must be provided by the artist.

The artist-in-residence is responsible for his or her own phone bill. Furthermore, he or she must comply with the house rules and regulations. Intentional damages to the building or studio apartment must be paid for by the artist-in-residence and will be deducted from his or her grant money.

At the latest date, the artist-in-residence must provide proof of insurance (health/accident) to the Kunstmeile Krems by the time he or she accepts the grant. Upon failure to do so, the Kunstmeile Krems will take out an insurance policy for him or her, but the artist-in-residence will be responsible for the insurance charges.

The artists-in-residence are hereby made aware of the fact that they are required to declare their income in Austria. Beyond the AIR grant itself, the Kunstmeile Krems is in no case liable for any claims resulting from these payments.

In conclusion, the Kunstmeile Krems explicitly declares that no contract is being signed between the artist-in-residence and the Kunstmeile Krems and that the Kunstmeile Krems does not acquire any rights to the works by the artist-in-residence.
