Artist In Residence

AIR is the most intensive programme by Muziekgieterij’s Production House. It is intended for musicians who want to deepen their artistic identity and work on a project with strong content. Over a period of one year, we offer space, coaching and support to help you realise your plan, from an EP or live show to an interdisciplinary or conceptual project.

You set the course yourself. Muziekgieterij provides the guidance and space for AIR Labs, studio time, presentation opportunities and access to a professional network. AIR is not an education or a fixed program, but a customized trajectory that moves with your development. The trajectory revolves around deepening, ownership and growth: learning what your path is as a musician, how you shape it and how you can continue to build independently.

Each year we select a maximum of four artists or projects that stand out for their vision, ambition and growth potential. All genres are welcome, as long as they fit the identity of Muziekgieterij: idiosyncratic, curious and driven. The trajectory concludes with a public presentation or another form that suits your plan. The goal is that you are more solid as a musician, know your course and can take the next step yourself.

Interested parties can apply using the form below with a project plan explaining goal, motivation and working method. The condition is that you live in the Maastricht region and can spare at least eight hours a week to work on your project. Need help setting up a project plan? Then use this example.
