Berlin, Germany
GlogauAIR is an international artist residency located in Berlin, Germany, providing a creative platform for artists from diverse backgrounds to develop their work in a communal setting. Founded in 2006 by Spanish artist Chema Alvargonzalez, GlogauAIR offers 13 studio spaces where artists can engage in a three to six-month residency. The program includes curatorial support, technical assistance, and various activities such as workshops, artist talks, and excursions. During their stay, artists have the opportunity to participate in the Open Studios event, presenting their works to the public and professionals in Berlin's vibrant art scene. GlogauAIR does not provide direct funding but assists artists in securing external financial aid. The residency emphasizes a deep engagement with the local culture and community, aiming to foster international exchange and artistic innovation.
This was my first artist in residence experience and it was exactly what I was looking for. My studio/living space was a great size, the facilities suited my needs, I felt supported by staff, I thoroughly enjoyed Open Studios, and had an amazing time in Berlin.
The location is great, close to center of Berlin. The staff and curator is nice, they care about artist’s situation and work environments. They promote the residency events well, so artists can showcase their works to many viewers.
