In partnership with the Lithuanian Culture Institute, Delfina Foundation is accepting applications from Lithuanian artists for a twelve-week residency in London.
The residency will run from January 6 to March 27, 2026. During this time, practitioners are given the opportunity to develop their work, with a program that includes meeting with artists, curators, academics, and researchers through organized presentations, studio visits, and events. The residency also offers professional development activities like presentations, crits, portfolio reviews, and mentoring. Residents will also have opportunities for collaborative exchange and guided visits to museums, galleries, and other institutions in and outside of London.
The selected applicant will receive a twelve-week residency at Delfina Foundation. This includes a roundtrip economy-class flight, airport transfers in the UK, and a reimbursement of the visa fee if required. The resident will also receive a living allowance of £40 per day, a materials budget of £1,000, and a local travel pass. Accommodation consists of a single bedroom in a house shared with up to eight residents, with shared facilities including bathrooms, laundry rooms, a kitchen, library, and dining room.
To be eligible, applicants must be a contemporary artist living and working in Lithuania, or a Lithuanian citizen living and working abroad.
