Artists-in-Residence

The international Artist-in-Residency Programme was established in 2007 and is the largest studio programme in the Czech Republic. It offers creative residencies for cultural professionals - visual artists, curators, theoreticians and visual art theorists. It creates a space for fostering dialogue between the Czech and international art scenes, support for the creation of new projects and introduces interesting international personalities to the domestic audience. It also supports the involvement of residents in the MeetFactory programme and often collaborates with the gallery programme.

The programme generally operates on a reciprocal basis, which means that we work with several international partners. Through these partnerships we send Czech artists to partner institutions and in return host artists from partner countries. Our aim is to support the residents financially, to provide them with a monthly artist fee, accommodation and a studio, and therefore we also strive for reciprocity and to obtain the same conditions for Czech artists.

If you are an artist living abroad and want to be a MeetFactory resident, you can find more information on how to apply in the Selection procedure.
