About the residency
The Factory is a contemporary art residency program that emerged from a repurposed industrial site, founded on the belief that artistic production thrives in spaces that retain the memory of labor and material transformation. Its ethos is rooted in process over polish, offering artists time and space to develop work without the pressure of immediate exhibition. The residency prioritizes experimentation, research, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, with a curatorial team that acts as interlocutors rather than gatekeepers. Over the years, it has become known for supporting projects that are materially and conceptually rigorous, often culminating in open studios or public presentations that emphasize the work's evolution rather than a finished product.

Applicants should submit a focused proposal that articulates a clear line of inquiry and explains how the residency's resources—space, time, and critical feedback—would advance it. Avoid generic statements about needing time to create; instead, detail specific research interests, material experiments, or collaborative intentions. The selection committee values honesty about process and a willingness to engage in dialogue. Include a concise portfolio that demonstrates a coherent practice, and ensure all application materials are submitted through the provided Google Form by the stated deadline. Late or incomplete submissions are not considered.
