International Visegrad Fond: Visegrad Artists Residencies

Visegrad Artists Residency Programme (VARP)

International Visegrad Fund is launching a new programme for artists - Visegrad Artists Residencies.

Visegrad Artists Residencies are for artistic projects specified in the application form. The country of citizenship and country of permanent residence of the artist must be different from the hosting country. The length of supported period of residency is 3 months.

To apply for the residency, each artist has to find a Host Organization, which will accept her/his residency project.

Compulsory annexes to the application are as follows:
1. copy of ID or passport
2. documentation of the previous artistic works
3. residency project accepted by the Hosting Organization

Every applicant for the residency will be evaluated by the selection committee, consisting of four independent experts covering different fields of art. The artists will be selected from among the citizens of Visegrad countries on the basis of proportionality.

Selected artists will receive residency fee of 750 EUR per month and the Hosting Organization will receive 750 EUR per month to cover expenses related to the residency.
