Deadline: 31-Jan-22
The Petrohradská kolektiv is pleased to announce an open call for artists to participate in an international program Artist in Residence for the year 2022.
The residency program is intended for active artists, creators, and theoreticians, who desire independence and want space and technical support for working on their projects. That’s what the Petrohradská kolektiv AiR program offers in the heart of a multi-genre cultural center in Prague. The goal of the program is creating an open platform for international artistic dialogue, interconnection of different cultures, and support for emerging artists working with diverse media.
Benefits
- Accommodation and a studio in the Petrohradská kolektiv complex
- Covering the travel and material costs (up to 200€)
- Technical support and consultation
- Exhibition in Jedna Dva Tri Gallery (or an alternative)
- Free entrance to all the events organized by Petrohradská kolektiv
- The original idea behind Petrohradská kolektiv was to make a community space for creativity and art practice, where there’s a place for both efficient working and pleasant relaxing, where you can focus on your own projects and then take a break without the necessity of leaving the building.
- Within the AiR they provide a technical support, promotion, and a curatorial assistance. Travel and material costs are covered up to a maximum of 200€.
- AiR 2022 will take place between April 15 – November 30 2022.

Who are they looking for?
- Residencies are intended mainly for artists with interests in creative sharing and participation in the field of Prague contemporary art scene.

The final result of the residency will be traditionally showcased in the own Jedna Dva Tri Gallery. Anyway, the form of the output can be adapted according to each project’s nature.
