ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
Are you an artist and/or researcher interested in either working or doing some research in Austria or Japan? Here’s where you will find some useful links which will support your travel aspirations.
International residencies play a significant part in Austria's art scene. In order to create their works outside the national art system and under the influence of a new environment, artists often move their studios to foreign countries. Residencies abroad are considered to be evidence of a successful career, constitute a key section in biographies, and also are an important instrument of public art promotion.
