Short Description

Within the framework of CreArt 3.0, the city of Lublin and the Warsztaty Kultury launch a residency for 2 artists, one from Lublin and one from the CreArt network. Artists in residence will have a mentor to help them to establish in the city (information on cultural institutions, events, useful places…), for their presentation to the artistic community in the city and support in the development and presentation of the project. The last week will be spent putting together a small exhibition, open studio or performance so the residents can share their final works (selected by the mentor and the organization) with the citizens of the hosting town and have some foreign feedback.

Eligibility

  • Artists born or residing in one of the cities in the project network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Latvia), Skopje (North Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Lublin (Poland), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), Regensburg (Germany), České Budějovice (Czech Republic) and Oulu (Finland).
  • Members of HDLU (Croatian Association of Visual Artists).
  • Ukrainian artists through our collaboration with Lviv Artistic Council «Dialogue».
  • We invite artists working in any field of art – regardless of medium, discipline, or form of expression (e.g., visual arts, music, literature, theater, dance, performance, interdisciplinary activities). There are no age restrictions. A university degree in art or documented artistic achievements demonstrating equivalent competences are required.
  • Applications must be strictly individual. Applications submitted by artist collectives will not be accepted.
  • Proposed activities must be site-specific – meaning they must be directly linked to the context of the location and public space. We are interested in projects that involve the temporary capture of space, creating new ways of experiencing the city and its surroundings.
