QMA Artist in Residence
Apply and come to Vienna!
Every year QUESTION ME & ANSWER forms a collective of around 16 artists, known as the QMA Artist Collective. Half of them have been living in Vienna for a long time and the other half are artists who have only recently moved to Vienna as migrants or refugees. Within the framework of the project, they work together on artworks, form networks and support and inspire each other in their artistic work. The programme lasts around eight months. Information about the programme and the participants of the last QMA Artist Collectives can be found here.
Since the standard program QMA Artist Collective is only open to artists living in Vienna, we are now offering a residency for an artist living in Austria or neighbouring countries, but outside Vienna who identifies as Black, PoC or (post)migrant* or is a refugee. This artist will get the opportunity to be part of the QMA Artist Collective for one month, thereby getting an insight into the Viennese art scene. They will be part of the regular program, participating in private tours of museums, studio visits or roundtable discussions that provide insider knowledge about the Viennese art scene.
All open calls are announced on this page, via social media and via our newsletter.
For more information about the programme and the participants of the last editions of the QMA Artist in Residence check the relevant pages on our website:
