Organizer Information:
GlogauAIR is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 by the Spanish artist Chema Alvargonzalez. Located in a historic school building in the heart of Kreuzberg, Berlin, the residency was created as a meeting point for international artists from all disciplines to collaborate and expand their practice.
Title & Description:
Applications are open for the GlogauAIR On-site Residency.
The program is shaped by the tenets of ‘Explore, Create, Exhibit’. During the residency (available for either 3 or 6 months), 13 international artists occupy private studios and immerse themselves in their creative process. Residents receive curatorial and technical support, participate in a dynamic community, and gain influence from Berlin’s contemporary culture. The residency culminates in a two-day Open Studios event where artists showcase their work to the public and invited art professionals.
