MOYA-Künstlerresidenzprogramm 2026

Designed to kindle inspiration and refine craft, this residency provides a tranquil environment that encourages deep focus and artistic exploration. Guests can choose between two tatami suites—each featuring a futon room and studio—both private refuges that invite a fantasia of ideas and expression. Whether seeking solitude for the mind or a space to share and collaborate, residents find the perfect setting to nurture their projects in a fresh, supportive atmosphere. Beyond these personal havens, the residence boasts communal spaces such as a private library, kitchen, workshop room, outdoor garden, and an expansive cellar (Kura)—all designed to foster community, conversation, and the sharing of work. Open to more than just traditional artists, the residency welcomes entrepreneurs, creative directors, illustrators, writers, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, athletes, researchers—anyone driven by curiosity and a passion for discovery. In this haven for innovation and insight, inspiration is plentiful, perspectives are challenged, and new paths emerge—making it a true nexus for the creatively restless.
