Program Description

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 2025, we have one three-month residency open for July-September. For 2026, we currently have open applications for January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December. 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 in the fall.
