Endowment: 6,000 euros

What is funded?

The programme is based on the idea of creating a local production and discussion context in which artists and theorists connect and reflect on supra-regional art and social discourses with local themes. At the same time, the possibility of an artistic experimental laboratory is preserved, allowing new things to be tried out.

The "fellows" selected by a jury of experts come to Büchsenhausen for a period of one to two semesters, where they work on the submitted project and accompany this process discursively in public events.

The City of Innsbruck supports this programme with an annual working grant of 6,000 euros.
