About the residency
Kintai Arts is an artist residency located in the village of Kintai in western Lithuania, near the Curonian Lagoon. Founded in 2011 by artists and cultural managers, it occupies a former school building and operates as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing time, space, and context for contemporary artistic practice. The residency emphasizes process over production, encouraging residents to engage with the local environment, community, and the specific cultural history of the region. Its programme is open to artists across disciplines, with a particular interest in those whose work is research-driven, site-responsive, or socially engaged. Kintai Arts also hosts exhibitions, workshops, and public events, fostering dialogue between visiting artists and the local audience.

Planning your application
Applicants should submit a clear project proposal that articulates how the residency's unique location and community context will inform their practice. The selection committee looks for genuine interest in engaging with the site and its surroundings, rather than treating the residency as a generic studio opportunity. Include a realistic timeline and budget, and be prepared to discuss how you might interact with local audiences. Applications are typically accepted via an online form; check the website for specific deadlines and requirements. Early communication with the residency team is encouraged if you have questions about accessibility or resources.
