Artist residence
We offer an artist residence, which we call Art Hermitage, free of charge to artists who want to dedicate some time fully to the arts.
The residence is a small house with a living/bed room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It is located on a secluded property of about 6.000 square meters surrounded by fields and woods. That is why there also might be spiders, mosquitos and flies.
The hermitage offers a quiet place for contemplation without internet, radio or TV to reduce the media distractions of everyday life. And if you like, you can also get some donkeys as pets to live on the property. Quite likely that you'll make friends in the time you're here.

Application
Everyone who wants to live out their creative streak may apply – not matter how old and which background. We are looking forward to artists of visual arts, music, performing arts, authors as well as all other fields of arts. Applicants from the area of land art who want to carry out a land-art project during their stay will be prioritized. Artists who plan a contribution to our events program during their stay - e.g. a book reading, an exhibition, a workshop etc. will also be prioritized.
You will not get an additional financial support and the works will either remain with you or can be left with the association. We are happy if you leave something here that we can display in our art barn or on our website, but that is no requirement for your stay.
You can apply for the residence anytime. Please include the following in your application:
- Description of your art (1 page)
- Date and duration of your proposed stay
- Artistic background
We are looking forward to your application! If you'd like to get to know us and the place before, you're welcome to visit. Just let us know in advance by email (info@rietzerberg.de).
We don't have any availability anymore for 2024. But you are welcome to apply for the coming years. Every year is dedicated to one of the elements. 2024 is the year of the earth. Afterwards water, air and fire will follow (the order hasn't been decided yet).
Please add to your application the element that you and your art feels closest to. When choosing water, it also stands for movement, air for transcendental and supernatural and fire for passion.
