Creative residence for artists

Between mid-April and the end of May 2023, around 10 international artists will be invited to carry out their large-scale works (sculptures, installations, paintings) at the site of the current NordArt.
The length of stay depends on the relevant project and can last from a few days to 4 weeks. Participants are provided with materials (by arrangement), a workplace and accommodation on the NordArt site. The resulting works remain the property of the artist and will be exhibited in NordArt (by agreement, for a period of one year).
If you would like to participate, please tick the "Artist in Residence" item on the application form. This application requires a description of the project with detailed information about the materials and dimensions, the estimated time for installation and sketches.
