Residency accommodation is located in a former student dormitory. The fee includes water, electricity, heating, internet access, bed linens, kitchenware, and access to laundry facilities. Artists are responsible for their own travel and living expenses.

Each artist is provided with a private, lockable bedroom. Showers and toilets are located in shared common areas. A shared kitchen is available and equipped with basic cooking essentials.

ARTISTIC WORK AT THE RESIDENCY

A private room in the accommodation facilities is suitable for smaller-scale work, writing, or, for example, media artists. The bright rooms are equipped with desks and easels.

A separate studio space is located nearby, at the end of the street in Nostates’ collaborative workspace, where easels and work desks are available. The space includes tables and seating for public events of up to approximately 25 people and is suitable for practices such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, or community-based art. The shared facilities have good ventilation and provide access to equipment such as a printing press and a Hollander beater.

The residency provides a starter set of basic materials, although artists are generally expected to cover the costs of their own materials.
