The Artist-in-Residence program (AIR) of the Schafhof – European Art Forum Upper Bavaria and K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence invite visual artists from Slovakia to take part in the two-months residency in Freising, Germany. The Open Call for the residency in Schafhof – European Center for Art Upper Bavaria is open for visual artists from all fields.
The Artist-in-Residence program (AIR) of the Schafhof – European Center for Art Upper Bavaria is open to artists from across Europe. Invitations are currently issued exclusively through cooperation with partner organisations in the respective countries.
The values of a borderless, open, and free continent, a Europe of regions, are reflected in the program’s purpose and meaning. The European Art Forum offers a platform for lively exchange and a network of ideas. All fields of contemporary visual art are represented.
Forming the main themes are the two poles of technology and nature as central pillars of a modern and sustainable community, which is fostered by the setting and facilities of the art center. The location in the midst of nature and the exceptional architecture create an atmosphere in which artists can concentrate on their work, while they can also integrate into the rich art scene of Munich and Upper Bavaria.
