Due to last-minute cancellations, we have several available studios for the months of September – October 2024.
Application deadline: 17 August 2024
The opportunity is open to artists and researchers working within the fields of history, ecology and politics, social sciences, visual culture and transdisciplinarity. We also welcome designers, architects, researchers, theoreticians and curators, as well as practitioners working with performing arts, sound, material research/craft, and film.
While the residency programme doesn’t have predefined outcomes, the participants are expected to organise one public individual activity in relation to their practice, enriching the NAC environment of exchange and collaboration. The residency does not offer or facilitate exhibitions or studio visits on a regular basis. Since the premises are shared with students, NAC programme participants, and other guests, residents may have the opportunity to participate in study courses, workshops, or other events regularly organised and/or hosted by NAC.
Living and working conditions
Each resident is provided with a 65m2 live/work space equipped with basic kitchen facilities, a bathroom, and workspace. Depending on availability, residents have access to communal spaces such as the reading room and workshops with weaving looms, laser cutting, basic wood and metalworking tools, basic photo, video and sound equipment, silkscreen, and a hand printing press. NAC does not provide materials for residents’ individual work and projects. Depending on availability, residents are invited to work with naturally seasoned, Neringa-sourced timber logged over the past four winters and stored on-site at NAC as part of the ongoing Neringa Forest Architecture project.
