WERKRAUM ZUG — A Place to Create, Think, and Exchange in the Alps
A Studio Rooted in the Landscape
In Zug, just beyond Lech, the mountains lend both quiet and clarity — a setting that naturally invites creation. Within this landscape lies WERKRAUM ZUG, a studio conceived as a space for making, thinking, and dialogue. It is dedicated to art in all its forms: painting, pottery, installation, writing, and conversation.
The intention behind WERKRAUM ZUG is simple — to provide a place where artists and thinkers can work without distraction, surrounded by the stillness of the Arlberg. It is a studio for residencies, temporary projects, and gatherings, open to those who wish to create, reflect, or collaborate in a setting that balances solitude and connection.
A Platform for Artistic Process
WERKRAUM ZUG welcomes artists, curators, and collectives seeking to work away from urban noise, to test ideas, or to engage with the landscape as context and inspiration. The studio can be rented together with the adjoining Haus W, offering the possibility to stay, work, and create within the same rhythm of place.
Within its walls, the act of making is given room to unfold slowly, thoughtfully, and with intent.
Dialogue with KUNSTRAUM ZUG
Next door, KUNSTRAUM ZUG complements this mission. Where WERKRAUM ZUG provides the space for creation, KUNSTRAUM ZUG offers one for exhibition and encounter. The two form a natural continuum — studio and gallery, process and presentation — linked by shared purpose and proximity.
Together, they host conversations, artist talks, and collaborative projects that connect local and visiting practitioners. The exchange between these spaces reflects a belief that art does not exist in isolation but grows through dialogue — between maker and viewer, idea and form, place and time.
Art in the Alps
To work in WERKRAUM ZUG is to engage directly with its surroundings. The rhythm of the mountains sets the tempo; the clarity of air and light shapes perception. In this quiet, ideas gain structure and material takes on meaning.
The studio’s purpose is not only to support artistic production but to cultivate a slower, more reflective approach to it — one rooted in awareness of place. Here, creation becomes inseparable from the landscape itself: thoughtful, enduring, and deeply human.
Closing Reflection
WERKRAUM ZUG is both a physical studio and an invitation — to make, to think, and to exchange. In dialogue with KUNSTRAUM ZUG, it forms a small yet significant centre for art and reflection in the Arlberg, offering time, space, and quiet for those who seek to create with intention.
