The residency is intended as a period for research and reflection on the artistic practice. All residents are expected to spend a minimum of 20 hours a week working in their studio. Residents should be enthusiastic about participating in residency meetings and events, including residency gatherings, visits from curators, and a seasonal open studio. Four studios are available rent-free for chosen scholars, and scholarship holders receive a financial support of currently 1,000.00 euros per month.
