Submission are welcome between the 1st and the 30th april each year.

Our house has four bedrooms as well as several common spaces: bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, and a living room.  The EoFA suites can accommodate three residents at a time, each of which receives a grant of 1200CHF per month, for a period of three or six months.  The fourth suite is reserved for local associations and institutions as accommodation for their visiting artists for periods of at least one month. The suites are allocated to artists based on submitted projects that are assessed by a jury of experts once per year.  Projects may be submitted by professional artists in any field (visual arts, dance, theatre, music, literature, film, etc.), by people conducting research on contemporary artistic practices, by cultural developers such as exhibition curators and playwrights, as well as by professionals in the field of applied arts.

In addition to a warm welcome, resident artists will benefit from professional contacts within our networks. This will provide discussions, interaction, and promotion of their work, which are significant factors for visiting artists. Therefore, to ensure individual support for their projects, it is important for us to offer tailor-made opportunities for the development of partnerships through our diverse contacts. These conditions foster relationships for long-term collaborations.
