Announcing artist residencies designed for the reopening of Colombia; for visual artists, musicians, writers, architects, clay artists, performers, and other makers.

We’re not quite out of the woods on the COVID epidemic, but international travel has been reopening all around the world. Back in March ‘20, we went into lockdown with 13 artists and learned a lot in the process. Since then, we’ve hosted another dozen or so artists with extra precautions to keep everyone safe, yet maximize the artist’s experience. We believe that a key part of the AIR experience is the commensality – those wonderful conversations we have while sharing a glass of wine and a good meal, along with the freedom to focus on your work.

Residency length: Two months (June-July).
Fees: The fee per artist is $775 US per month which includes all meals, private room and bathroom, and studio space. Artists are responsible for their own materials and transportation to and from ArteSumapaz. We have a special car and driver available for pickups from El Dorado Airport in Bogotá for about $85US.
Duration of residency: 1-2 months. We recommend taking a residency longer than 1 month so you can have enough time to get used to the space, connect with other artists, and create. One month residency is also available.

“WARRIORS OF ART” – Open call 2022 of The Old School Art Residency – Bulgaria, The Balkans

The Old School Residency is the first international artist residency program in Bulgaria. It’s been twelve years now since we started supporting artists from all over the world in their search for inspiration and new ideas by offering them the magic of the parallel artistic reality that we’ve created. Our residency program is not just an escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city, industrialization and consumer society but it also serves a purpose as a retreat for artists with whom we share our ideas, friendship and wholeheartedness. We believe that in doing so we help with the creation of a new generation of people/artists who have the bravery and courage to challenge and change themselves. In our eyes art is not just a mean for creating that which is esthetically pleasing but also a tool capable of changing the world. By staying with us in Gorna Lipnitsa and creating your art here, you will have the chance to become the spark of change for the people here and to leave a lasting trace in their lives. It might even happen so that the place enchants you and affects you in an unexpected way. How exactly… it’s for you to find out.

We offer a place for creative work and relax. A locus for individual artists or a small group of artists – up to 6 people – to ruminate, reflect and rejuvenate. Gorna Lipnitsa (www.gornalipnitsa.com/en/history), is a rural community, where the present and the past complement and contrast one another. Here, the spirit of Socialism is still alive, remnants of which can be found throughout the streets of the village. Upon visiting us, you will be enveloped by the bucolic scenery, crisp, clean air, silence, economical and fresh food, amiable community, and opportunity for true inspiration.

The Old school residency is a multidisciplinary residency program, we accept artists who create in the field of the visual arts (painting and drawing, wall painting, photography, installations, video, filmmaking, land art, etc.) and performance arts (music, dance, theatre).

Theme of the residency – 2022

“WARRIORS OF ART”

The year is 2Q22, the wheel of time has brought in another cycle, the world is divided by conflict and war. Gorna Lipnitsa, a small village in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe, is woven into numerous threads of paths and destinies. There is an ancient saying in the village, according to which the most precious ingredient in the world /known as The Essence/ is Creativity. According to the legend, it is extremely difficult to obtain, attainable only by few. Yet it’s value is beyond measure because with its help the world can be saved from decay and perdition. Invisible, odorless, but with a glow and unwavering energy, The Essence is humanity’s only chance to resist entropy. People who have the ability to capture The Essence are called Warriors of Art . According to the saying, in the world exist several training centers where these warriors can manifest their abilities and develop their full potential. It is told that one such center is located in Gorna Lipnitsa

We, the creators of The Old School Art Residency, believe in the power of words as a mean to create a new reality. And since we also believe in the synchronicity of events, if you’re reading this invitation, you may already be on your way to opening a new door and seeing what’s beyond.

We look forward to welcoming to The Old School Residency in Gorna Lipnitsa all artists who believe in their abilities to create art that carries the brilliance of The Essence.

The Residency studios

The Old School art residency was found in 2010 in the village of Gorna Lipnitsa, Bulgaria. The name of the residency derives from the place where the studios are located – a spacious and beautiful school building, created more than a hundred years ago.  The classrooms of the already closed down school have been rearranged into rooms where the artists can work. The residency provides workspace for the participating artists – 6 indoor workshops including a photo studio and open air spaces – the yard of the school, movie and concert salon.

The residency has its own “Room of secrets” in which different objects are being kept, such as teaching materials collected during the long history of the school and objects from Bulgaria’s socialist past, like posters, dipositives, vinyl, literature, diaries, paintings, etc. The visiting artists have the freedom to use whatever they find in this particular room for their works.

The school is open 24/7 for the artists.

From 2010 to 2022, the residency has accepted more than 140 participants from more than 30 countries and the number of applications is over 800.

Up until this moment, we have staged 35 exhibitions and art events, which present the works of the artists who take part in the residency.

Accommodation

The guest houses have their own separate yard which can also be used for work and leisure.

We also provide the artists with the opportunity to taste clean and healthy food originating from the village: fruits and vegetables from our garden, homemade jam, fresh eggs hatched by free-range chickens, dried herbs to make tea with, traditional Bulgarian alcoholic drinks as well as homemade honey.

BROTA residency dedicates particular attention to projects exploring the interplay of nature and urban environment, within the Anthropocene the current geological epoch of extensive human modification of ecological and geological processes.

To the diversity of the landscapes, the diversity of our people is added. Between 1880 and 1950, Argentina received five million inhabitants who bequeathed us the values of sacrifice, the importance of hard work and also taught us how to celebrate life. Taking this diversity as a motivation and promoting artistic concern, BROTA residency program aims to give artists a unique and enriching artistic experience, conforming it into a creative factory.
