KUNSTRAUM is calling for submissions for our 2024-2025 Artist-in-Residence
Program .

KUNSTRAUM is a community of artists by artists with the goal of redefining the
collaboration between artists and curators. Through our program, we aim to explore the
relationships between artists and curators by opening our gallery spaces to those
interested in exploring unconventional, engaging ideas and taking risks.

Our Artist-in-Residency program offers three-month residencies for national and
international artists on a quarterly cycle. In 2024 and 2025, the three-month residencies
will take place from January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-
December, with multiple spots available for each period.

All resident artists are invited to pursue their independent projects, interact with our
established community of artists, designers, and filmmakers, interact with the incoming
artists and curators of our ongoing exhibition program, participate in the monthly studio
visits, and exhibit in the Annual Members’ Show. To learn more about KUNSTRAUM,
