The fifth edition of the Graz Residency for International Photographers (GRIP) is a collaborative initiative between Camera Austria and Kulturvermittlung Steiermark, designed to support emerging lens-based artists. Running from mid-September to mid-October 2026, the month-long program provides a dedicated space for research and creative development within the vibrant cultural landscape of Graz. Residents are encouraged to immerse themselves in the local art scene and utilize Camera Austria’s extensive study library – housing over 11,000 volumes – to advance an existing project or initiate new work. The fellowship culminates in a public presentation of the artist’s practice hosted within the institution’s exhibition and library spaces.
