Toutes les informations

The incoming program is aimed at international artists who are interested in experiencing Kunstmeile Krems, the city of Krems, the Wachau World Heritage Site, the state of Lower Austria, and Vienna as well as forge artistic connections. Invitations are extended to artists from the fields of visual arts, literature, architecture, culture, music, and digital media.

AIR offers temporary accommodations and working opportunities in five-week residency sessions and a grant of €1,950 per artist in Krems. Eight sessions are advertised annually via an open call. Expenses for travel, transfers, materials, and meals are borne by the fellowship holders themselves.

The artists arrive and depart on the same dates, and each session begins with an orientation day, allowing them to get to know AIR and its surroundings and to initiate institutional and intercultural exchange. 

All fellowships for 2025 have already been awarded. The open call for 2026 fellowships runs from February 10 to April 30, 2025. Applications can only be submitted via the online application portal.
Application deadline: April 30, 2025, 11:59 pm.

No applications will be accepted by e-mail. Submitted application material will not be returned. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Artist collectives are welcome to apply for a residency. However, the fellowship award of €1,950 does not change.

Fellowship award winners will be notified via e-mail by the end of June 2025. A discipline-specific advisory board selects participants for AIR.
