ARTIST RESIDENCY AT VILLA WALDBERTA 2021

The City of Munich and their program ARTIST IN RESIDENCE MUNICH with its two residences Villa Waldberta and Ebenböckhaus stand for openness, encounters, and exchanges between people from all over the world. With this call for applications, ARTIST IN RESIDENCE MUNICH offers international artists from all genres the opportunity to work and stay at Villa Waldberta. There they can develop concepts, exchange ideas and thoughts with other guest artists, initiate projects, and introduce themselves and make presentations to the general public as part of events. We support the guest artists with introductions to the art scene in Munich and networking with local persons who are active in the art and culture scenes. In the ideal case, this could result in building or strengthening enduring work relationships.

Who can apply?
Effective immediately, professional artists from all genres with a residence outside of the State of Bavaria can apply.

We welcome applications from persons of all nationalities, religions, sexual identities, age groups, and social backgrounds. We also look forward to receive applications from persons with disabilities; as Villa Waldberta is not barrier-free, if need be we would request that you contact us in advance in order to clarify the availability of the necessary infrastructure, and, when required, to find individual, tailored solutions.

We offer:

  • Reimbursement of travel costs (economy class) up to € 350.00 within Europe, and up to € 800.00 if you travel from outside Europe to Munich
  • One rent-free apartment per person with its own kitchen and bathroom at Villa Waldberta
  • A monthly grant of € 1,200.00 per person
  • A monthly ticket for public transportation in Munich
  • Common areas
  • A studio, and the availability of an exhibition space (the "Palmenhaus" – the Palm House)
  • Events on the theme open to the public
  • Organized meetings with artists and curators, as well as visits to galleries and art institutions in Munich, and, should the situation arise, in the countryside surrounding the foothills of the Alps


We expect:

  • A good working knowledge of spoken and written English.
  • The willingness to work together with the other guest artists, with the ARTIST IN RESIDENCE MUNICH team, and with our partners in the art and cultural fields in Munich.
  • The willingness to participate in events open to the general public.
