ARTIST IN RESIDENCY PROGRAM | CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Studio XX launches a call for proposals for our 2016-2017 artist in residency program in research and creation.
Studio XX’s residencies offer an opportunity for artists to experiment and produce work which explores interdisciplinary ideas and approaches. We respond to the technical, creative and theoretical requirements of the artists by offering references to our network of community experts, whose involvement must be arranged by the artist herself/himself.
For a period of six weeks, resident artists have access to a dedicated work space (shared space), with a computer suited to a range of media projects. Residents receive an artist fee, technical support and free access to all Studio XX workshops and equipment. The completed production or the work-in-progress, will be publicly presented at XX event dedicated to our artists-in-residence. There are three open residencies offered per year. Completely open and self-directed, this residency is for artists who wish to research something new, deepen the experimentation of a current project in development, or put the finishing touches to a production.
