Who may apply and what is the procedure
- Individuals as well as institutions, galleries or other members of the Danish art world may propose artists from abroad for the program.
- Before a proposal is made, the artist must be contacted to ensure that he or she is interested in and able to accept a residency in Denmark of the proposed duration.
Residency outside Copenhagen furthermore requires securing accommodations and studio facilities for the artist in advance.
- As the final step, a well-founded proposal must be forwarded by mail, containing the following:
- a presentation of the artist and his or her artistic work.
- descriptions of plans you may have for collaborations with the artist (exhibitions, public talks, workshops, or the like).
- information on when the artist wants to arrive and the term of residence (3-6 months).
- a budget including travel expenses and - in the case of proposals for residency outside Copenhagen - expenses for the artist's accommodations and studio facilities to be financed by the program.
-information on how the artist can be contacted.
