Artist In Residence Open Call

The INMC was inaugurated in 2017 by the City of Clermont-Ferrand to boost joint

reflections and collaborative projects between cities from all over the world. At a

time when environmental, social, digital and cultural challenges are emerging

worldwide, the INMC fosters innovation and creativity to take the lead in the

transition towards sustainable development.

Regensburg, a southeastern city in Bavaria, Germany, is known for its medieval town

centre and Danube River location. With around 179,000 inhabitants, it blends

modern and traditional influences, partly due to its university. Highlights include the

12th-century Stone Bridge, Gothic cathedral, and an Italian flair in its cafés and

colourful houses.

Last autumn the Cultural Office launched a new programme which is called “RAiR.

Regensburg Arts-in-Residence” that promotes international exchange between artists.

Two new charming studio apartments in a historic building in the heart of Regensburg’s

old town are available for this purpose. Located directly on the Stone Bridge and thus

along the Danube River, the studio apartments offer plenty of space for art and creativity

in unique surroundings. Numerous galleries and studios are located in the immediate

vicinity. The studio apartments are newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, a

bathroom and a bedroom as well as a living and working studio area. Artists with families

are welcome to apply, as the Cultural Office is aiming to ensure a child-friendly

environment. Accommodation is paid by the City of Regensburg.

Artists from all disciplines are free in their work and are invited to engage with

Regensburg. The residence includes an artist talk and a participatory format that

involves the citizens of Regensburg.

There is one studio apartment available
