NAC is participating in TRACES/EARZOOM in Ljubljana

Nida Art Colony is starting a collaboration project called T.R.A.C.E.S. together with IRZU (SLO) and Transcultures (BE). Curator Vytautas Michelkevicius and invited curator/critic Jurij Dobriakov are making presentations in the festival EARZOOM.

Artist-in-Residence Programme grants

NAC hosts about 50 artists-in-residency per year and about one third is supported by grants. NAC has two recurrent grants: a yearly Goethe Institute Grant for young German artists (by invitation only) and a yearly Neringa Municipality Grant for Lithuanian artists dealing with local issues (by open call). Other grants are project-based and vary year to year. Please, check the actual call for details.
