THE PROJECT

CreArt (Network of Cities for Artistic Creation) is a network of European cities that aims to promote creativity and the impact of the visual arts on everyday life.

 

THE CITY

Regensburg is a city in southeastern Bavaria (Germany). It is characterized by its medieval town centre and its location along the Danube River. The city has around 179.000 inhabitants. Being a University town, Regensburg has many young people, making it both modern and traditional. Well-known landmarks include the Stone Bridge from the 12th century and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers. The winding city centre, the many charming cafés, and the colourful houses exude an Italian flair in the heart of Bavaria, which is why Regensburg is also known as the ‘northernmost city in Italy’.

 

ACCOMMODATION

As part of the program RAiR. Regensburg Arts-in-Residence, the city of Regensburg, is offering one charming studio apartment in a historic house in the heart of Regensburg’s old town. Located directly on the Stone Bridge and thus along the Danube River, the studio apartment offers plenty of space for art and creativity in unique surroundings. Numerous galleries and studios are located in the immediate vicinity.

The studio apartment is newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom as well as a living and working studio area. During the period, another artist from another partner city will live and work in the other studio apartment.

In addition, the artists can use a shared space measuring approximately 30 square meters, which also has a small kitchenette and a bathroom.
