FLAME AND ESTUDIO INVERSO ARTISTS RESIDENCIES Deadline: 31 Oct 2026 Country: Spain Art residencies with Estudio Inverso Carabanchel Flame x Estudio Inverso is an independent, specialized contemporary art residency program designed to bridge international creative practice with Madrid’s most dynamic cultural ecosystems. Operating within an industrial open-studio warehouse containing 13 independent creative workspaces, our core objective is to provide international visual artists and researchers with the physical space, critical dialogue, and local network necessary to execute ambitious projects.

Institutional Support: Provision of comprehensive, itemized invitation documentation to fully support artists applying for external mobility bursaries (such as Culture Moves Europe or Arts Council England). Our primary goal is to act as an institutional launchpad, embedding global artists directly into Spain’s contemporary art market while offering a premium, worry-free living and production infrastructure. Duration of residency One to three months Accommodation Accommodation in a shared 2 bedroom apartment (one artist per bedroom) in the heart Central Madrid in a historic building in the neighbourhood of Malasaña Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Each artist is expected to bring their own materials for their artistic creations.

Official Link: https://www.lakeresidency.org/ Strategy Coach Notes: https://www.patreon.com/pformart/posts/neuwerk-lake-168401280 Get The Application Strategy Neuwerk publishes unusually specific jury criteria. Reviewers assess the artistic quality and independence of previous work, the quality and feasibility of the proposed residency project, the importance of the residency for the applicant’s artistic development, potential for exchange and cultural mediation, and the applicant’s contribution to the diversity of the program. The application reinforces these criteria through a two-page project and motivation letter, a separate proposal for public programming, a recent portfolio, and a financing overview. Applicants therefore need a project that can function within the May and June residency period, lead coherently toward the exhibition, and support a credible public format. About the Neuwerk Lake Residency Neuwerk Lake Residency is a new artist-in-residence program initiated in 2026 by Neuwerk eG in cooperation with the Kulturamt der Stadt Konstanz. The program launches with its first residency in 2027. Neuwerk describes the program as a way to provide time and space for concentrated artistic work, new impulses, interdisciplinary exchange, and connections among regional and international perspectives, the city of Konstanz, the Lake Constance cultural region, and the working communities housed at Neuwerk. The call is open across all fields of contemporary art and design. The first selected artist will work at Neuwerk from May 1 through June 30, 2027. The 116 m² studio has basic furnishings, residential use, and accessibility. The resulting or further-developed work will then be presented in the Gewölbekeller of the Kulturzentrum am Münster in Konstanz. The exhibition period runs from June through September 2027, with an opening planned for mid or late June. The artist is also expected to engage with a public accompanying format. Neuwerk lists Artist Talks, Open Studios, workshops, and Werkstattgespräche as possible forms. What Is Offered - 2–3 months of studio residency with residential use and residential utilities included. - First residency period from May 1 to June 30, 2027. - Exclusive use of a 116 m² studio at Neuwerk. - A subsequent 2–3 month exhibition in the Konstanz region. - First exhibition at the Gewölbekeller, Kulturzentrum am Münster, from June through September 2027. - An individually agreed budget for implementing the exhibition. - Promotion of the exhibition and an opening reception by arrangement. - Networking with the art and cultural community in Konstanz and the Lake Constance region. - Opportunity to create or participate in a public accompanying program.

Who Should Apply The residency is open to professionally working emerging artists with an independent practice in contemporary art or design. Applicants may live in the Lake Constance region, elsewhere in Germany, elsewhere in Europe, or internationally. Sufficient German or English is required. There is no age limit, although Neuwerk states that the program particularly addresses artists in the early or middle stages of their professional careers. Applicants should also be prepared to reside on site. Neuwerk describes physical presence as an essential part of the residency, with short absences possible through prior arrangement.

Applicants need to present a feasible residency project, demonstrate how the period in Konstanz contributes to their artistic development, and propose a meaningful form of exchange or cultural mediation. The 116 m² studio provides substantial working space and residential use. Applicants should account carefully for the financial structure because travel, daily living expenses, insurance, artist fees, and specialized production resources remain their responsibility.

We are located in a multicultural city, one of Latin America’s cultural centers that has a wide offer of visual arts, theatre, cinema and music to experience. The ´ace team will guide you through all sorts of cultural and artistic activities happening in this pulsating Latin American city that hosts great events, such as arteBA (contemporary art fair), FIBA (theatre festival), BAFICI (independent cinema festival), Performance Biennial (performance art), FILBA (literature festival), BAPhoto (photography fair) and many other exhibitions, conferences, festivals and more. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance ´ace hosts residencies for artists, curators and researchers from a wide range of mediums and languages, such as print media, photography, video, performance art, sound art, installation, design as multiple object, digital media, artist books, painting, illustration, textiles, new media and the interweaving between them or with other contemporary art practices. We have a fully equipped workshop for non-toxic print media techniques such as photolithography, engraving, screen printing, woodcut, mokuhanga, mokulito, monotype, algraphy, bookbinding and more. Our workshop has presses, tools and an assistant (available per request) who works in direct contact with our residents to secure safe work methods, permanent feedback during the creative process and active learning through first-hand experience and experimenting. The ´ace team has deep knowledge and expertise in art critique, performance art, installations, print media, and photography, and is available at all stages of the residency period to discuss possible ideas with active residents.Studio / Workspace Residents doing a PRODUCTION RESIDENCY usually make use of The Workshop: a large, quiet space with lots of natural light and equipment to facilitate a variety of traditional and new printing processes, works on papers, monotypes and artists books. In addition, the Políglota Room is a perfect space for performance art, audio-visual installations, lectures, video projections, etc. Residents can also work in The Tower: a silent and luminous studio located on the second floor with an open view, accessible by a spiral staircase. It is ideal to do research, study, write and create in an independent atmosphere. Other studios can be set up according to the project proposal and each resident’s needs. There are also many tools available and a lab for photosensitive print media techniques, as well as video and sound equipments already installed for video projections or audio-visual explorations.

The residency fee DOES NOT include: travel costs to and from Buenos Aires, travelers’ health insurance, costs of visas (if necessary), per diem and shipping expenses for the produced work (we suggest always to bring the work back with you and not to ship it). Expectations towards the artist Residents at ´ace are expected to work on a specific project proposed by them or to do their own research without a specific outcome in mind — in both cases, presented projects are plausible of evolving through experiences acquired within the residency period, and residents are encouraged to embrace these experiences with an open heart and mind. Residency periods can end with: - an exhibition, though it is not mandatory - artist talks, which are encouraged if residents want to give them - we can also hold open studio instances in which our residents can receive the visit of curators, artists, colleagues and the local public in order to be able to share their work and process with members of the local artistic community Application information Interested candidates can go through all necessary information about our programs as found on this link.

Haihatus Artist Residency Open Call – February–April 2027

Until Oct 31, 2026

Haihatus

Haihatus Artist Residency Open Call – February–April 2027 Deadline: 31 Oct 2026 Country: Finland Haihatus Artist Residency is part of an independent, artist-run contemporary art centre in Joutsa, Central Finland. Set in three historic buildings on the edge of open fields, Haihatus combines the peace of the Finnish countryside with an active and unconventional art environment. Here, you live and work surrounded by art. Across approximately 1,500 m², Haihatus offers studios, workshops, exhibition and performance spaces, an outdoor sculpture park and unexpected spaces shaped by artists over the years. The art centre hosts exhibitions, concerts, performances and workshops throughout the year and attracts around 7,000 visitors annually. The residency gives you freedom to use this environment in your own way. There is no requirement to produce a finished work: you can develop an existing practice, begin something new, research, write, experiment or simply give yourself uninterrupted time to think and work. You can work independently or exchange ideas and collaborate with other residents and the wider Haihatus community. Exhibitions, performances, screenings, workshops and artist talks are possible, but always optional. Life at Haihatus moves between privacy and community. You have your own room and space to withdraw, while shared kitchens, studios, meals and sauna create natural opportunities to meet other artists. Step outside and you are surrounded by fields, forests and lakes, while the everyday services of Joutsa remain within walking distance. In summer, Haihatus expands into a lively art destination with its annual contemporary art exhibition, vegan summer café and Art Camping. The wider grounds include spaces such as a summer cinema, outdoor stage, tower and silo—part of a place where art is not confined to a white-cube gallery. Come alone, as a duo or as a working group, for two weeks to three months. Bring a clear project, an ongoing process, or simply something that needs time and space to become clear. Duration of residency Residencies range from two weeks to three months. For this open call, you can apply for a period between February and April 2027. Whether you need an intensive few weeks or a longer period to let your work develop, you can propose the timeframe that best suits your practice. Accommodation Residents live in Utopia House, Haihatus’ main residency building and the social heart of the community. You have your own private single or double room with a small kitchenette, while the fully equipped kitchen, living areas, bathrooms, sauna, laundry facilities and large garden are shared. Life at Utopia offers both sides of a residency: privacy when you want to focus and an easy way to meet other artists when you want company. Shared meals, conversations and sauna often become a natural part of everyday life. And yes, there is a resident cat. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Haihatus welcomes visual artists, writers, performers, musicians and other creative practitioners, including interdisciplinary and experimental practices. The facilities support everything from quiet writing and research to performance, installation and large-scale construction. Residents have access to three large studios, woodworking facilities, screen printing, textile equipment, electronic art and AV workspaces, shared tools and professional equipment for music rehearsals and performances. The Haihatus team can help you find the right space and equipment, develop ideas and, if you wish, bring your work to an audience through an exhibition, performance, workshop or artist talk.Studio / Workspace Haihatus is not built around a single standard studio. Across three historic buildings and approximately 1,500 m², artists can find very different environments for working. There are three large shared studios, quieter spaces for focused work, specialised workshops and indoor and outdoor areas suitable for installations, performances and experimentation. If your project needs an unusual space or setup, tell us. One of Haihatus’ strengths is the freedom to find a space that fits the work—not the other way around.Fees and support €660/month for one person €990/month for two people sharing a room The fee includes accommodation, Wi-Fi and access to Haihatus’ shared living and working spaces and facilities. A confirmation fee of €100/person (€200 for two people sharing a room) is paid after acceptance and deducted from the total residency fee. Beyond space and accommodation, residents can receive practical and artistic support from the Haihatus team—from finding the right tools and workspace to developing ideas and organising an optional public event. Expectations towards the artist At Haihatus, process matters more than outcome. There is no requirement to produce a finished work, exhibition or performance. Use the residency for what your practice needs: making, researching, writing, experimenting or simply having uninterrupted time to think. If you do want to share your work, Haihatus can support an exhibition, performance, screening, workshop or artist talk—but it is entirely optional. Application information Tell us about your practice, what you would like to explore or work on at Haihatus, and your preferred residency dates. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined project or promise a finished outcome. We are interested in ongoing processes, experimentation and ideas that still need time to develop. Individuals, duos and working groups are welcome. Deadline: 31 October 2026 at 23:59 (EET, UTC+2). Questions: [email protected]

They collaborate with artists, communities, and organizations to imagine alternative futures and implement creative interventions. Their guiding principle is “zero land consumption”—a commitment to working within existing spaces rather than contributing to further exploitation. The Ligurian coast, long preyed upon by short-term tourism and unchecked development, needs new narratives that reconnect its people to their environment. “We should feel intimately that we have slipped from a simple ecological crisis to what should rather be called a profound mutation in our relationship with the world.” — Bruno Latour The organisers of the residency believe artists can act as catalysts — infusing alternative imaginaries and new ways of seeing into the landscapes they inhabit, if only for a time. They invite artists of all disciplines, at any stage of their career, to spend three weeks in Western Liguria and help this land reconnect.

Studio 88 Artist Residency

Reviving Nature 2027 (Chiang Mai, Thailand) Deadline: 31 Oct 2026 Country: Thailand Play • Learn • Perform • Participate International Artist Residency and Festival January–March 2027 | Chiang Mai, Thailand What if environmental action began with curiosity? What if climate conversations could be playful, creative, participatory and joyful? Plearn (เพลิน) is an international artist residency and festival exploring how art can inspire environmental awareness through play, imagination and shared experience. The Thai word เพลิน means to enjoy, to become absorbed in an experience and to find pleasure in the moment. It invites us to slow down, explore and reconnect—with nature, with communities and with one another. Rather than approaching climate change only as a crisis, Plearn asks: How can artists create experiences that make people care because they have participated, discovered, played and imagined together? We invite artists to transform environmental learning into an open playground where audiences become participants rather than spectators. The Open Call Artists may develop interactive installations, performances, games, workshops, public interventions, storytelling, movement, sound, digital media, ecological design, socially engaged work or other interdisciplinary approaches. We are interested in work that invites people to touch, build, question, listen, move, imagine and collaborate—and, through doing so, reconnect with the living world. Projects may respond to subjects including: climate change and environmental justice biodiversity and ecosystems air pollution, water and forests food systems, waste and the circular economy Indigenous and local knowledge community resilience regenerative practices future imagination relationships between humans and nature Projects may be poetic, experimental, educational, performative, speculative, interactive or socially engaged. Who Can Apply The open call welcomes artists, collectives, performers, designers, researchers, educators, makers, architects, technologists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, environmental practitioners and creative thinkers from all countries. Applications are welcome across disciplines, including: visual art, installation and public art theatre, dance, performance and movement music and sound art film, photography and storytelling digital and interactive media design, architecture and craft environmental and socially engaged practice community arts and interdisciplinary work Emerging and established practitioners are equally welcome. We are particularly interested in applicants who are open to exchange, experimentation and engagement beyond the boundaries of their usual practice. The Residency Residency period: January–March 2027 Location: Studio 88 Artist Residency, Doi Saket, Chiang Mai, Thailand Residency dates are flexible and will depend on each artist’s proposal and the opportunities available within the wider programme. Artists will have time and space to research, experiment and develop their work in dialogue with local environments, communities and fellow residents.

Join the network to access the Strategy Coach Notes for this opportunity. About the American-Scandinavian Foundation Fellowships The American-Scandinavian Foundation supports educational and cultural exchange between the United States and the Nordic countries. Its Fellowships for Americans program supports graduate students, academic professionals, independent scholars, and creative practitioners undertaking research or creative-arts projects in the Nordic region. ASF states that priority is given to candidates at the graduate level conducting dissertation-related research, while awards are made across all fields. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must have completed their undergraduate education by the time their proposed project begins. The current fellowship system contains two project lengths. Long-term projects run 4-12 months and can receive up to $23,000. Short-term projects run 1-3 months and can receive up to $5,000. Projects should begin after April 15. Applicants are expected to devote full time to their proposed work and explain the amount of time required. Each applicant must arrange their own academic or professional affiliation in the Nordic region and submit confirmation from the institution or individuals named in the proposal. What Is Offered ASF identifies the following areas of support: - Long-term fellowships of up to $23,000 - Short-term fellowships of up to $5,000 ASF states that awards may require supplementation from other sources. Applicants must notify ASF about additional award offers, and ASF funding should not duplicate benefits provided through another award. Who Should Apply The fellowship is open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who will have completed an undergraduate degree before beginning their project. ASF describes the program as supporting graduate students, preferably those conducting dissertation research, and academic professionals pursuing research or creative-arts projects. Awards are made in all fields. Team projects are eligible. Each team member must submit an individual, fully documented application. First priority is given to applicants who have not previously received an ASF award. Applicants may receive only two ASF awards during a ten-year period, with a third considered only in exceptional cases.

An applicant proposing a residency must explain why that residency is crucial to the work. American-Scandinavian Foundation Fellowships Timeline Application Deadline: November 1 Project Start: After April 15 Long-Term Project: 4-12 months Short-Term Project: 1-3 months Applicants planning work during July or August should also account for Nordic summer holidays. ASF specifically cautions that many people may be unavailable for consultation during these months. Why TheAmerican-Scandinavian Foundation Fellowships Matter Creative-arts projects are explicitly included in the ASF fellowship program, and the Foundation’s 2026-2027 Fellows demonstrate the range of artistic practices that have received support. Recent fellows include independent artists working in film, performing arts, visual arts, music, languages and literatures, and interdisciplinary creative projects. Host affiliations include Helsinki Litho, Artica Svalbard, Gothenburg University, the University of Iceland, and other Nordic institutions. For contemporary performance artists, the fellowship can support an extended period of project-specific work tied to a Nordic location, institution, archive, artistic organization, or professional relationship. ASF requires applicants to establish that relationship themselves and explain why work in the Nordic region is essential to the proposed project. Recent awards to independent artists working across performing and visual arts confirm that creative practice can fit the program when the project and Nordic affiliation meet the fellowship structure.

About the Howard Foundation Fellowship The George A. and Eliza Gardner Howard Foundation is an independent foundation administered at Brown University. It awards fellowships for independent projects in selected fields on a rotating schedule. The Foundation targets early mid-career individuals who have completed at least one major project and demonstrate the potential to become future leaders in their fields. The Foundation will award ten $40,000 fellowships in April 2027 in the current fields. Howard Fellowships are unrestricted, non-residency fellowships intended to support recipients’ intellectual and artistic development. Artists and scholars are expected to devote a substantial portion of time during the fellowship year to advancing new work. Fellowship funds may be combined with sabbatical leave or other sources of support. The application portal states that the fellowships primarily provide artists, scholars, and writers with time to complete their work. Howard Foundation Fellowship: Three Application Pathways Writing for Performance Writing for Performance is for writers creating written work intended for performance. The Foundation considers proposals from early mid-career authors, artists, and playwrights working in genres, styles, and media classified as Writing for Performance. The Foundation specifically identifies playwriting, monologues, performance poetry, screenplays, and other writing intended for live or recorded performance. The applicant is applying as the writer or author of the proposed work. Choreography Choreography is for choreographers creating new original choreographic work. The Foundation considers choreographic proposals designed for dance or other stage performance and notation. Artists may work in any genre, style, or media classified as Choreography. Choreography has a separate application form. Applicants must be generative artists who conceive and create new original work. They are generally expected to be in their fifth through fifteenth year of professional generative artistic practice and clearly beyond the emerging stage. The proposed work must be created and developed by the artist from concept to completion. Remounts, revivals, and interpretations of previously existing material are excluded. Collectives, companies, and groups are ineligible. Applicants must apply as solo artists or creators. A dancer, producer, director, or other choreographic collaborator who is not also a professional choreographer is ineligible. Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies is for scholars undertaking critical research and scholarship. The Foundation considers scholarly projects that examine and interpret theatre, dance, and performance studies from a critical point of view. Projects may address any genre, place, language, time period, or format and may use philological, historical, theoretical, or comparative perspectives. This category does not support creative work. Applicants should have a promising record of scholarly accomplishment that includes one major project. Application proposals should address methodology, timeframe, use of funding, and the intended impact of the project within the field of study. What Is Offered - Ten fellowships of $40,000 each - Unrestricted fellowship support - A non-residency structure - Time for the development of artistic, written, or scholarly work - Ability to combine fellowship funds with sabbatical leave or other support - Fellowship funds available beginning July 1, 2027 - Payment to the recipient or their institution - The Foundation does not provide indirect costs. Fellowship funds are primarily intended to support time for the work. - For Choreography, funds do not underwrite publication, advertising, or promotional costs. - For Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, funds do not underwrite publication, advertising, or promotional costs. Who Should Apply Applicants should first determine which of the three pathways accurately describes the proposed project. Performance writers should apply through Writing for Performance when the proposed project is writing intended for live or recorded performance. Examples explicitly identified by Howard include playwriting, monologues, performance poetry, and screenplays. Choreographers should apply through Choreography when they are the generative artist conceiving and creating new original choreographic work. Applicants generally have five to fifteen years of professional generative artistic practice. The applicant must apply individually. Theatre, dance, and performance scholars should apply through Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies when the project is scholarly and critically examines or interprets these fields. Creative projects are ineligible within this pathway. Howard Foundation Fellowship Timeline - November 1, 2026: Applications due. - November 15, 2026: Recommendation letters due. - April 2027: Fellowship recipients announced. - July 1, 2027: Fellowship funds available. Why The Howard Foundation Fellowship Matters The Howard Foundation Fellowship offers substantial unrestricted support while addressing three forms of performance-related practice separately. Performance writers can seek support for new writing intended for live or recorded performance. Choreographers can seek support for new original choreographic work created through their own generative practice. Theatre, dance, and performance studies scholars can seek support for critical research and writing. That distinction makes the current fellowship cycle relevant across several parts of the contemporary performance field while preserving specific eligibility requirements for each form of practice. Ten recipients will each receive $40,000, and the non-residency structure allows recipients to undertake their work without relocating to a host institution. Apply to The Howard Foundation Fellowship Applications are submitted through the Howard Foundation’s official application portal. Deadline: November 1, 2026.
