BYCZ AiR: CZECH-BAVARIAN AiR PROGRAM 2024

This year, the international artists’ residence SCHIESSLHAUS AiR will be launching a Czech-Bavarian Artist in Residence Program.

Artists and creative professionals from Bavaria and Czechia are invited to apply for a two-month residency at the historic monument „Schießl-Haus“ located in Kollnburg in the Bavarian Forest, half way between Munich and Prague.
