We are influenced by all styles of art and are open to everything. Studio / Workspace 2 workspaces are available. With the option to use the gallery space for bigger projects. Fees and support

We are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for artists to participate in our residency program. The details for the residency fees can be found on our website.
In addition to the residency fees, we will take a small 20% commission on any artworks sold during the residency.
However, we want to support our artists in generating income from other merchandise. Therefore, 100% of the sales made from prints, t-shirts, stickers, and similar products will go directly to the artist.

Expectations towards the artist

We encourage artists to shape their own experience during the residency. The fees cover the opportunity to showcase their work at the end of the program, but an exhibition is not mandatory. Artists can choose to spend their time exploring the city’s museums and galleries, making connections, or even hosting a workshop in our space if they wish. The decision is entirely up to them!
