The International Visegrad Fund is now accepting applications for the Visual Artists Residencies Program in New York to provide artists with the chance to be inspired in a variety of spectacular artistic settings of Brooklyn.
Every year, four artists get the incredible opportunity to engage with peers and a focus on process and experimentation.
The program gives artists complete freedom during their residency, but also provides resources and weekly lectures for guidance and feedback.
The residency program at International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York creates an environment for inspiration, dialogue, and experimentation. It allows four artists (one from each Visegrad country) to experience life and work in a unique community where creativity is applied to the everyday and offers conditions that enrich the creativity.
