This selection is a quick way to identify which residencies are truly right for you right now, without wasting time on a haphazard search. We have selected programmes with different participation models: from intimate formats to institutional residencies with an international focus.
The residencies are listed by deadline — from the nearest to the longer-term opportunities. This allows you to plan your application strategy straight away and not miss out on real opportunities.
It is important to understand that a residency is not just about accommodation. It is about the time, the environment and the professional connections that directly influence the development of your practice.
