Short Description

The Vivegnis International Residences/Workshops are a place dedicated to research and professionalization for visual artists and / or recent graduates with potential for success, for which the residence may contribute to their professional advancement. Thus, in a unique working environment, artists benefit from supervision in terms of communication and meetings with professionals in the sector.
The Vivegnis International Residences/Workshops are located in a former industrial site, in an annex of Batterie’s coal station, which is converted into a contemporary art center. Facing it, the hillsides of the Citadel are the largest park in the city (over 80 hectares).
The Liege landscape and industrial base – historical or contemporary – is likely to be a working axis for the residents, although all themes can be promoted.
