Service for members

The Tyrolean Artists’ Association sees itself as a lobby and platform for artists in and from the Tyrol. It also offers its members an information service about invitations to tender and exhibitions, a publication archive, and advice on stays abroad/residencies and freelance work as an artist. With their membership card, artists receive reduced/free admission to various art institutions in the Tyrol and the surrounding area.

Together with a number of partners, the association regularly offers information events on topics of particular interest to artists, such as social security matters relating to precarious employment conditions in the arts and cultural sector.

NEWSLETTER

The newsletter for members is published every second month and contains information on current exhibitions and events run by the Tyrolean Artists’ Association, announcements of its members’ exhibitions and events, and a selection of current calls for tenders at home and abroad.

MEMBERS EXHIBITION

The curated members’ exhibition takes place every other year.

INFORMATION EVENTS

The Tyrolean Artists’ Association regularly organises information events and workshops with experts for its members, examining relevant and up-to-date topics for visual artists such as social security and tax law.

SALON D’ARTISTE

In 2012 the Tyrolean Artists’ Association developed a new format representing exchange, space for experimentation, openness, collaborative thinking and action. The Salon aspect of the programme is aimed primarily at members of the association, expanding the existing exhibition and fellowship programme with a new level that is spontaneous, flexible, discursive and diverse. Project presentations, lectures, discussions and smaller exhibitions take place within this framework. The locations change: The Salon opens its doors in the Kunstpavillon, Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen and the Neue Galerie as well as– under the title Salon d’Artiste–in the artists’ studios.

SALON EXPANDED

Every two years, the Salon Expanded offers new members of the Tyrolean Artists’ Association an opportunity to introduce their own work but also artistic and non-artistic personal interests to colleagues and the general public.
This is a format to present different practices and directions of new contemporary art production in and from the Tyrol.
