Four studios are continuously available for guest artists from the Netherlands and abroad. Six local artists-members have their private studios inside the building. An alternating team of members manage the foundation and the residency program. Team members support the residents intensively on all levels of their profession. Kaus Australis primarily seeks to offer optimized studio space for visual artists to concentrate on their artistic development and the presentation of their work. On the other hand the shared facilities and the available local and global networks create possibilities to meet and exchange. Kaus Australis provides introduction within the artistic community of Rotterdam and contacts with organizations and institutes in Holland which present, facilitate or support art.
The separate studios can easily be connected into larger exhibition spaces. From 1997 Kaus Australis organizes presentations of individual artists and incidentally initiates larger exhibitions or events. As a non-profit artist-run organization Kaus Australis lets low prized studios. In the past Kaus Australis maintained exchange programs with Barcelona, Cologne and Lille. Over the last decade, structural connections with Basel, Los Angeles and Tokyo have developed. In case of an exchange program the Center for Visual Arts Rotterdam (CBK), Embassies or other subsidizers finance the residency of Rotterdam artists abroad in which external juries are involved.
