Studio Residency Stipend Bibliothek Andreas Züst
Description

The Bibliothek Andreas Züst is offering studio residency stipends for duos and collectives (up to 5 persons) in summer 2026. The length of stay is a total of six weeks. Application for the Studio Residency Stipend is open to national and international cultural workers across disciplines — visual arts, literature, new media, music, theatre, design, architecture, film, photography, and art-related disciplines.

For the stipendiaries, the Alpenhof panorama lodge will provide for accommodations. Applicants must submit a statement specifying their specific interests and describing their motivation in seeking a residency. The Bibliothek Andreas Züst is especially seeking projects that deal with the library as a whole or one of its sub-areas. The Studio Residency Stipend program is to be considered in the tradition of libraries as places of knowledge in the sense of diversity. In short: the residency should entail research about what constitutes the fabric of our culture and also what goes beyond it.

Situated at 1,110 m.a.s.l. overlooking the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance, here landscape conjoins with lingering; the Alpstein mountains with a sea of fog; Eastern Switzerland with overseas; traditional Alpaufzug (procession of cows on mountain paths) with astronomy. The Alpenhof itself, with its rooms, grand halls and terraces is open to guests from far and wide, as well as all kinds of encounters.

Studio Information

Each stipendiary is given their own bedroom and the option for a workspace (which for some scholarship recipients will be in their bedroom) . The library and other rooms and niches around the house are available for retreat and concentrated work.
