Has anyone ever tried to break creativity as much as it got broken in the last few years?
Why is that?

These are questions that we would be better off discussing in private.

And why is that?

That is why we are offering 8 artists a wall of four in 8 rooms to paint. The prize for the 8 best, selected artists is 8 days of art residency including full board at the Kunst- and Naturfreundehaus Brünig with Die Diebe and with advice and support from us (total value CHF 51 223). What is created during these 8 days can be exhibited at the next Festival of Free Arts.

There is space in the Kunst- and Naturfreundehaus Brünig. Not only for being, designing and painting. But also space to exchange ideas from artist to artist, from artist to human and vice versa. The Kunst- and Natufreundehaus not only has space, but also people and artists from all over the world. Be it workaways from Brighton, Barcelona or Arizona. Piano builders or carpenters from Ghent, nannies and mannies from Tyrol or Stuttgart or writers from Prishtina. Who is there depends on the project planning and of course on when you will be there.

Please send us examples of your work and a short text why we should choose you. The theme of the work is joy and nature.

The deadline is 1 November 2022.
