Applicants should be able to communicate in one of Switzerland’s national languages (German, French, or Italian) or in English. As the salons can be used for cultural events and may also be rented for private occasions non-resident guests are often encountered in the Villa. The studios are therefore best suited for those who value contact and exchange with the public.
	How to apply?	The application package includes: • The completed application form (3 pages) • All enclosures listed on the application form (curriculum vitae, documentation of your work as an artist / in the arts, references, reasons for applying, etc.) If you have further questions please contact: office@villastraeuli.ch
	Stipend	An artist invited to participate in a studio residency at the Villa Sträuli is to try to obtain a grant in his/her native country to cover living and travel expenses. Should all requests be denied, an application for a contribution toward living costs may be made to the Sulzberg Foundation. The maximum stipend amount awarded by the Sulzberg Foundation is 1500 Swiss francs per month. Copies of grant applications denied or an explanation as to why a grant cannot be provided in the artist’s native country are to be submitted to the Villa Sträuli with requests for financial assistance.
