Applicants may apply for a three-month or six-month residency (organized in two threemonth periods), which must take place between January and November 2024. The desired length of stay must be specified in the application.

Located on the shores of Lake Geneva between Vevey and Montreux, close to all of Switzerland’s cultural and natural attractions, La Becque | Artists Residency welcomes artists from all walks of life.

The Principal Residency Program pays particular attention to projects that explore the interplay between nature, the environment, and technology, notions that are more intertwined than ever and that lie at the heart of contemporary concerns.

Artists-in-residence are provided with a live/work apartment for the duration of their stay. Residents will be granted exclusive or shared use of additional studio space. Residents will receive a monthly stipend of CHF 1,500 to cover living expenses and the cost of materials.

Principal Residency Program welcomes applications from Swiss and international professional artists working in a wide range of disciplines, including:
• Architecture
• Critical writing
• Design (product design, graphic design, design research)
• Film
• Media arts
• Music & sound art
• Performing arts
• Photography
• Visual arts
Curators, critics, and theorists working in research fields connected to cultural practices are also welcome to apply.

Applicants must be at least 23 years of age at the start of the residency. La Becque’s residency program is open to both emerging artists and established practitioners. However, applicants must be professionals in their field and have ambitions to further their practice. Applicants should not be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs at the time of application. PhD students who have finished all coursework may apply.
