Open Call: Residency at ARC Bucharest

The International Center for Contemporary Art MeetFactory together with the cultural association SOLITUDE PROJECT are opening a new call for applications for a three-month residency for an artist working in the Czech Republic at ARC Bucharest in Romania. SOLITUDE PROJECT and ARC Bucharest support international artists and cultural workers with residencies focused on research and creation. The program is open to experimental approaches across visual arts, performance, literature and filmmaking. ARC Bucharest strives to connect residents with the local art scene. It facilitates visits to art institutions, non-profit spaces, commercial galleries, and connects residents with curators and relevant colleagues, fostering the potential for collaborations that may materialize during the residency or beyond. The residency does not require the completion of new work or a formal public presentation; however, local community involvement in more flexible formats such as open studios, artist talks, or workshops is highly valued. Residents are expected to spend the majority of their residency in Romania, except for occasional travel for other commitments. While the program encourages independence and self-direction, residents are expected to participate in meetings with curators and the residency coordinator. The studio apartment is fully furnished and is suitable for an individual or a couple, but is not currently suitable for families with children or pets. Please note that the studio apartment is intended solely for accommodation and office/digital work that will not damage the space.
