ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
The Artist in Residence is an interdisciplinary program for foreign architects, artists, musicians, and writers that was brought to life by the administration of Lower Austria with the intention of stimulating international cultural exchange and intercultural dialogue. Each year, different artists are chosen to receive scholarships.
ORTE has been Lower Austria’s partner for the Artist in Residence Architecture category since 2001. In this time, numerous architects, landscape planners, expert authors, and art producers from throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas have come to Krems and helped shape the building culture here. Thanks to these individuals, a great number of exciting lectures and impressive presentations have been put on the ORTE program.
In the AIR archive, you can discover how differently these artists, with their “view from outside”, have perceived and evaluated the architecture and cultural landscape of Lower Austria over the years.
Applications for the 2027 residency will be open from February 9, 2026. More information here.
