Today, the "Kleine Stadt Farm – Verein zur Förderung des Gemeinwohls" is an association
of about 20 ecological and social organizations and cultural workers, in which about 500 people are participating. The community
farm is jointly managed, played on and cultivated – with great commitment on a voluntary basis. The offer and the previous
activities are designed and implemented on a low-threshold level.
Artist-in-ResidenceThe Salettl Residency Program will take place for the second time in 2023 and aims to offer artists the opportunity to enter
into direct dialogue with the community of the Kleine Stadt Farm and the surrounding nature in order to develop a project
on site. Both during and towards the end of the residency, there is the opportunity to present the artistic process and results
and to engage in exchange with the local people.
The program is aimed at professional artists whose work demonstrates
an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach and addresses issues of social and environmental sustainability. The
thematic focus of the residency is to tie in with "Utopia" - the annual theme of cultural activities in the district of Vienna-Donaustadt.
We invite the artist to work on this main topic from different perspectives and to realize it artistically.
The
costs for travel, materials and meals have to be paid by the artists themselves.
The application is open to all
interested artists regardless of age, gender, origin, sexual orientation or religious affiliation. Families are explicitly
invited to apply. Children are welcome at the Kleine Stadt Farm.
