Applicants must explain the proposed project, document previous work, and describe their motivation for working collectively. The application asks for a concise project description and a separate statement addressing the group’s collaborative practice. These requirements make the relationship between the project, the library, and the collective’s working methods particularly important.

Members receive practical guidance for approaching artist opportunities and preparing applications. About the Bibliothek Andreas Züst Residency The Bibliothek Andreas Züst offers an annual Studio Residency Stipend for artists and cultural workers across disciplines. The program is based at the Alpenhof in Oberegg, Switzerland, approximately 1,110 meters above sea level, overlooking the Rhine Valley and Lake Constance.

The residency welcomes proposals that engage with the library as a whole or one of its particular areas. Artists from theatre, performance, visual arts, music, new media, literature, and related practices can apply. The program explicitly welcomes established collectives and groups beginning to explore collaborative working methods. The six-week residency brings artists into a temporary residential and working community. Each resident receives a private bedroom and access to shared studio space, the library, and additional areas for concentrated work. Participants organize daily activities, including cooking and cleaning, while the Alpenhof collective provides support and facilitates exchanges. The program encourages active participation in the house community and opportunities to share research processes.
