The Center of Gravity (CoG) at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) is a Center of Excellence where we strive to understand the gravitational interaction and the cosmos. The CoG is a hub for new ideas on the foundations of physics. They are currently inviting proposals for artist residencies of up to three months that engage with the research of the Center of Gravity. The residency welcomes original, bold, and ambitious proposals. Projects may take various forms across artistic disciplines, including visual arts, music, literature, and others, provided they engage with themes such as black holes, gravitational waves, and the concept of time. They are offering up to two residencies (running in parallel or not) which include the following: 1. A three-month residency hosted by the Center of Gravity at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark. 2. For applicants from outside Copenhagen, we cover travel costs and accommodation expenses for the duration of the residency. 3. Depending on needs, and on a case-by-case basis, a stipend may be offered to help cover production expenses. 4. A participative residency: regular meetings with scientists to discuss the artist’s project/work.
The Core Program awards postgraduate residencies to highly motivated, exceptional visual artists and critical writers who have completed their undergraduate or graduate training and are working to develop a sustainable practice. Residents engage with a wide range of distinguished artists, critics, curators, and art historians who are invited to meet individually with the residents, lead seminars, and deliver public lectures. Core fellows participate in a yearlong seminar, the content of which is driven by contemporary concerns, the interests and work of the fellows, and the Core lecture series and visitors. The residency term is from September to May, and fellows may apply for a second term. Each spring the program mounts an exhibition of work produced during the residency, which is accompanied by a publication to which the critical studies residents contribute texts based on their original research. Critical studies residents may apply for support for a curatorial project in their second year. Residents receive a 20,000 USD stipend, 24-hour access to a private studio or office, and borrowing privileges at the museum’s Hirsch Library and Rice University’s Fondren Library . Because the program is intended to foster intensive participation in an active peer group, including biweekly seminar meetings, Core fellows must reside in Houston for the duration of the Core term.
The Cut is a vibrant centre for the arts and creativity, based in a heritage maltings building located in the market town of Halesworth in rural Suffolk. Already a focus for collaboration between artists and across disciplines, The Cut has designed the Summer Project to give participants a unique opportunity to work collaboratively across a full range of media and method to develop their visual arts activity. The Cut is a combined arts theatre and a creative hub catering for all groups and all ages. The Cut aims to develop the potential of young creatives in drama, dance, visual art & music through its mentoring scheme and showcases. As a cross-disciplinary hub, The Cut is an ideal home for The Summer Project, and enables the organisers to access the expertise of a wide range of people representing different sectors, including higher education, technology, voluntary, and commerce. The Cut is offering an exciting opportunity for up to 40 emerging and mid-career artists to participate in a unique interdisciplinary visual arts project in the summer of 2024. The Summer Project will focus on the themes of Environment, Identity, Migration and Sustainable Structures and artists appropriate to these topics have been invited as artist mentors. It will encourage exploration and cross-pollination across a range of approaches, including performance, digital and sound as well as more familiar forms. The Project has been launched and introduced through an exhibition and workshops at The Undercroft Gallery in Norwich during July 2023, highlighting The Cut and its offer to the local and wider community, as well as raising awareness of The Summer Project, and continuing in September with an exhibition by the wide-ranging artist Bruce McLean – a perfect prelude for the Summer Project residency in the summer of 2024. Participants will be encouraged to give full reign to their abilities and imagination, but also to challenge notions of what art activity can be through communication and collaboration with those in other subject areas. Participants will be supported by a group of 14 artist mentors – all established artists and practitioners – drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines. Technical support in film, digital and print will also be available throughout the residency. Additionally, a series of lectures, seminars and discussions on the key themes will be led by visiting artists who are working across boundaries and at the intersection of the arts and other areas like science and new technologies. The local community will be invited to attend the evening lecture series which will be free of charge on booking. The Summer Project will conclude with an exhibition of selected work from the residency and a Summer Project publication will be available in print and digital formats for schools, libraries, and colleges.
The Artists Development Programme (ADP) is a residency and mentorship programme in Luxembourg organised by the EIB Institute. The ADP offers emerging European visual artists under the age of 35 the opportunity to develop their practice in a high-quality professional context without any material constraints. It involves the creation of an art project under the mentorship of an internationally renowned artist. The mentors provide an exceptional tutoring and networking opportunity for young artists, while the exhibition of works from the project at the EIB premises adds the credibility of an established setting. Finnish photographer Jorma Puranen is the mentor of 2019, 2020 and 2021 editions. Previous mentors of the programme are leading British visual artist Darren Almond, Polish conceptual artist Mirosław Bałka and renowned British abstract painter Callum Innes. The ADP was created in 2013, targeting artists from a selected number of countries. The programme has since consistently broadened its target audience and has grown from one to four residencies, expanding the initial idea to residencies with two angles: geographic and thematic. Each year the geographic angle of the programme shifts its focus within the EU and aims to address the balance of nationality in the EIB’s art collection by selecting emerging artists who come from countries under-represented in the collection. For the 2021 edition, the EIB launched two calls for applications targeting visual artists ( EU nationals, aged less than 35 ) with a thematic focus on: Disruption: The Imprint of Man Climate Action in the Wake of COVID-19: Build Back Better

The Fountainhead Residency was founded by collectors Dan and Kathryn Mikesell in early 2008, with the aim of providing artists an opportunity to find new inspiration (a fountainhead), of introducing artists to Miami’s art community and its many supporters, and of introducing Miami and all that it has to offer to artist. The Residency will provide artists with an environment to find new inspirations, create new work, and an opportunity to meet the people that make Miami’s art community one-of-a-kind.
The Good Hatchery was originally founded in 2007 by a group of 5 graduates from Irelands National College of Art and Design (NCAD) as a response to the economic and other obstacles facing emerging artists during the boom years of the Celtic tiger. The building that houses the Good Hatchery was found in 2006 an online recycling network. In July 2007 five artists began the process of renovating the space into a residential studio. All materials for the work were obtained for free through recycling and salvaging systems. By November the space was habitable and could accommodate art and music making. The Good Hatchery is an experimental project that sets out to challenge the accepted norms for the production and presentation of contemporary art in Ireland today. They are committed to the support of artists in the production of high quality progressive art works. They promote an ethos of DIY and sustainability that takes advantage the spread of information and online learning opportunities enabled by our global age. To this end, the Good Hatchery operates an ongoing series of residencies and projects throughout the year. Through invitation and open call, artists and other cultural practitioners from Ireland and abroad are selected to be involved in the Good Hatcherys curatorial programme. In addition to this, unsolicited proposals for residencies and on site projects are accepted from individuals and groups. The Good Hatchery offers all of its its facilities free of charge to successful applicants. All participants in briefed and un-briefed projects are chosen by the administrators and board of members. They are particularly interested in unusual and experimental projects and in collaborative group proposals.

The Griffis Art Center wants to cultivate and encourage contemporary fine art and artists and create an opportunity for international exchange among artists and the community through arts. The Artist-in-Residence Program is for artists involved in the creation of visual arts. It is neither a school nor an artist's colony. It does, however, offer an opportunity for professional artists to explore their full creative potential. An artist's work may be contemporary or traditional, and may include most types of medium. However, certain casting techniques, which take too long to produce finished products, may have to be eliminated. Printmaking, photography and casting equipment are not available on the premises.

The aim of the Programme is to enrich Rijeka's cultural scene. During their stay in Rijeka the creators will both work and participate in Rijeka's cultural life: give lectures in schools, faculties, socialize with local artists, participate in public debates, events, readings, etc. Creators will be given opportunity to address current issues, and promote art and culture as an important part of social and public life, as well as a creative process that enriches the lives of all of us. The programme will also be an opportunity for various cultural organizers to devise and carry out residency programmes for foreign creators, in other words to introduce and include them into the artistic and cultural life of the city. The programme's aim is to be a catalyst for creating vivid and active artistic and cultural scene in Rijeka, to continuously re-examine the city's identity and address current issues. It is particularly expected to stimulate the formation of Rijeka's urban identity, strengthen the cultural specificity of the city and connect artistic and cultural life of Rijeka with other European and world centres.

Initiated in 1998, the land (more direct translation from Thai to English would be, the rice field) was the merging of ideas by different artists to cultivate a place of and for social engagement. Though initially the action to aquire the rice fields were initiated by two artists from Thailand, the land was initiated with anonymity and with out the concept of ownership. The land was to be cultivated as an open space, though with certain intentions towards community, towards discussions and towards experimentation in other fields of thoughts. The foundation aims to promote and support artistic and cultural activities, natural farming, and self-knowledge through the Vipassana meditation techniques.
