Residency scholarships in the Engadin
As part of the Artists-in-Residence program, the Fundaziun Nairs is offering artists residency grants for 2019 at the Nairs Center for Contemporary Art in Scuol (Engadin) in the canton of Graubünden. The artist residencies last a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 10 months. The application deadline for the period February to November 2019 is April 30, 2018.
The artists' house is located in the historic bathhouse of the former Scuol-Tarasp spa hotel on the banks of the Inn. It comprises nine studios and bedrooms, a kitchen with lounge, a large event hall and exhibition rooms on three floors.
Every month, up to 10 artists, musicians, composers, authors, dancers, performers and scientists from all over the world live and work under one roof. The results of the works created in Nairs are shown in an exhibition at the end of the season. The scholarship holders are given their own studio and bedroom. Around 30 artists can be accepted each year. A monthly contribution of CHF 500 is made towards the cost of board and lodging. The length of stay can be freely chosen - minimum two months, maximum ten months.
The Fundaziun Nairs is a unique synthesis of artists' house, art gallery and cultural center. It creates space for concentrated creative work and an atmosphere for constructive dialog between the various groups. Nairs sees itself as a place of work and encounter. Individual work and the interaction between different art disciplines characterize the atmosphere in the house. In addition to the artists-in-residence program, the Fundaziun Nairs regularly offers space for exhibitions and cultural events.
Closing date: 30.4. (for stays 1.2.-30.11.2019)
