Tag: fully funded art residency

Künstlerhäuser Worpswede invites applications for four Quarter Fellowships for 2021 on the theme of the Scholarship Site of the Future.

At Worpswede, a place steeped in tradition, we want to initiate a process that will involve asking questions about the future of art production: The conditions for a future-oriented, sustainable scholarship site are to be explored. In particular, we want to consider where and how art can be created, what funding conditions are needed for this, and what social relevance protective spaces have and need for artistic production.

We are looking for projects with hybrid approaches. We value experimental modes of expression and formats that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries.

Artist duos and working collectives are welcome, as are partners and joint children (with additional payment of incidental costs).

The artistic direction of the Künstlerhäuser Worpswede accompanies the process and initiates meetings between the fellows, promotes exchange and dialogue about the results and experiences, and organizes a public presentation of the work at the end of the year in Worpswede.

What do the Künstlerhäuser Worpswede offer:
o A (rent & utilities free) living and working studio of about 35 sqm plus a separate bedroom as well as basic equipment (kitchenette, private bathroom with toilet).
o Living cost support of Euro 1.000 per month (sponsored by the Karin & Uwe Hollweg Foundation)
o Quiet and inspiring working atmosphere on the edge of the Teufelsmoor in the historic artists’ village of Worpswede
o Contacts and network connections to other local and international artists
o Access (in the center of Worpswede) to a printing workshop “Die Künstlerpresse” and workshop use in the “Atelierhausgemeinschaft”.
o Exhibition possibility in the project space “Albert Hall” as well as in the “Große Kunstschau Worpswede”.

Application Requirements:
o Application is open to all practitioners (artists, architects, humanities & social scientists, etc.).
o Application with a concrete work project on the thematic background of a scholarship site of the future. Embedded in the topic are questions such as…
– what are the conditions for the production of art?

– what do contemporary funding structures have to look like?
o willingness to work in Worpswede for three months and to live in the Künstlerhäuser
o willingness to exchange with other scholarship holders

Art residency Link:

Rupert is inviting applications for residencies, calling local and international cultural practitioners and thinkers (artists, writers, curators, researchers, managers and academics) willing to live and work in Vilnius from 1 to 3 months in 2023 (January–December) and develop individual or collaborative projects, reflections and research while immersing themselves in the region’s contemporary art field.

Located in the picturesque area of Valakampiai in Vilnius and only a short distance from the lively city centre, Rupert sits by one of river Neris’ small beaches, surrounded by peaceful fields and a forest. Three residency studios are located in the ‘Tech Arts’ building designed by award-winning Lithuanian architect Audrius Ambrasas.

PARTNERS OF THE RESIDENCY PROGRAMME

Lithuanian Council for Culture
Tech Arts
Vilnius Municipality
Nordic Culture Point

Duration of residency

Individual residencies can last from 1 to 3 months. Residents are asked to propose their preferred duration of stay and, if accepted, this can be negotiated according to studio availability and schedule. 

Accommodation

Each resident is provided with a studio space that has a mezzanine (approximately 52 m2) to be used as a space for production, research and living during the residency. The studio is fully furnished and equipped with WiFi. There is a number of other organisations and companies in the building and it also houses a reading room, gallery space, conference room and a kitchen, all of which are open for residents to use.

Disciplines, work equipment and assistance

During the residency, residents are provided with curatorial assistance in their research process, with at least two studio visits from art professionals, as well as connections to the local art scene. Although this is certainly not a requirement, we welcome residents to engage with Rupert’s public and alternative education programmes, present their work in public events and organise discussions. Some of the residents are invited to take part in the Open Studio podcast series or Rupert’s Journal. Rupert seeks to establish long-standing relations with residents and if there are opportunities, they are often invited to participate in exhibitions and events presented as part of the centre’s programme.

Fees and support

All the residencies are FREE this application round thanks to support from the Lithuanian Council for Culture and the studios provided by the creative industries hub Tech Arts. Applicants are responsible for covering personal (daily and travel) expenses. Rupert’s team will issue acceptance letters for successful residents and support their applications for external grants to cover travel, food, production and other costs.

Expectations towards the artist

In the application, prospective residents are invited to present a project they will be working on during the residency. This does not have to be a project created specifically for Rupert. You may work on your selected subject using your preferred means or continue your creative practice. However, applicants are encouraged to specify whether their intended proposal is more research-based or oriented towards a production-based project, requiring particular materials.

About The Program

The Art Residency Program | Al-Balad is a program by the Ministry of Culture in the historical district of Jeddah (also known as Al Balad) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The program includes a series of fully-funded residencies that provide art professionals with time, space, and collaboration opportunities to support their creative development. The program is open to Saudi and international artists, curators, and art writers (critics and art historians).

It aims to foster creative practice, strengthen art professionals’ capacities and promote cultural exchange and networks building. Through this initiative, the Ministry of Culture invites all residents to get inspired by a city boasting an extraordinarily rich history that has not yet been fully explored. At the same time, it seeks to promote cultural dialogue and exchange within the city’s art scene and the local communities.

The Art Residency Program | Al Balad is the first of its kind in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was established by the Ministry of Culture in 2020, in conjunction with the new visa regulations issued by the Kingdom and with the Governments’ vision towards promoting social and cultural growth.

The program stands as a key step towards creating a thriving and sustainable ecosystem which, on the one hand, is capable of stimulating creators from inside and outside the Kingdom to develop their passion and evolve practices and, on the other hand, can contribute to enriching the life of the local communities of Al Balad and beyond.

The Art Residency Program | Al Balad is a program of the Ministry of Culture as part of the “Art Residency” initiative; it is sponsored by the Quality of Life Program included in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and is implemented by a private organization of Jeddah’s artistic ecosystem which acts as an executive partner.

The second edition of the Art Residency Program | Al Balad is implemented by Hafez Projects.

The Open Call

The program offers residencies for artists, curators, writers (critics and art historians) in the historical district of Jeddah “Al Balad,” a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Al Balad has a rich history and is one of the city’s pedestrian neighborhoods. With its studios located in the historical building of Rubat Al Khunji, the residency stands as an opportunity for the residents to learn more about the city’s diverse traditions and culture. At the same time, it encourages them to interact with the local communities and connect with other art professionals from Jeddah, the Kingdom, and beyond.

The program is open to artists, curators, writers (critics and art historians) from Saudi Arabia and worldwide* who are at the beginning or middle of their career in the visual arts field.

Four residencies cycles will be organized in 2022, each one lasting 6 weeks. Candidacies are accepted four times a year through a submission window corresponding to each residency cycle (please see below).

Each residency cycle will include, on average, 6 residents from Saudi Arabia and 3 international residents who will start and finish their experience simultaneously.

These residencies are intended for artists and art professionals wishing to develop a research and creative project over a period of six weeks. They are process-based: their setting and the chance to work alongside peers, other professionals, experts, and the local communities create a dynamic environment for critical, technical, and professional growth within a collaborative exchange model. In addition to studio space, the residency includes the cost of travel to and from Jeddah, accommodation in a shared flat at a limited distance from the working studios, and a stipend to cover living expenses.

Artists may also apply for a production grant generally ranging from 5000 to 10000 Saudi riyals ($1300-2600) to cover art supplies and other costs connected to the realization of their project. Grants’ requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may be subject to revision by the organizers.

All candidates must present a project proposal with their candidacy. Projects may be focused on the topic/theme of the residents’ choice as long as they are connected to the local context of the city of Jeddah and/or Al Balad historical district.

Submission windows:

First cycle: 20th December 2021 – 10th January 2022.

Second Cycle: 8th January 2022 – 5th February 2022.

Third Cycle: 25th February 2022 – 26th March 2022.

Fourth Cycle: 15th April 2022 – 14 May 2022.
