Description

Visegrad Artist Residency Program in New York started in 2010 under the cooperation with Futura Prague and the Triangle Arts Association in Brooklyn, the VARP in New York program facilitates artist residencies for visual artists from the Visegrad Group (V4) countries in New York City. Triangle offers stu­dio space in Brooklyn and a dynamic artis­tic com­mu­nity to sup­port the devel­op­ment of projects with empha­sis on dia­logue and exper­i­men­ta­tion. Administrative, cura­to­r­ial, and peer sup­port is pro­vided for all artists-in-residence. Unlike many other res­i­dency pro­grams, Triangle does not empha­size spe­cific outcomes but rather allows artists space, con­text and com­mu­nity within which to focus on ideas, research and process. Applicants will be selected on the basis of their pre­vi­ous work, their poten­tial con­tri­bu­tion to the res­i­dency stay in New York, as well as the poten­tial ben­e­fit they can draw from the program. One artist per V4 coun­try will be selected.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must have a very good knowl­edge of English both spo­ken and written;
  • When apply­ing the appli­cants must have fin­ished all other schol­ar­ship projects (schol­ar­ships or VARP projects) financed by the Fund; simul­ta­ne­ous appli­ca­tions within any cat­e­gory of the VARP (i.e., appli­ca­tions for res­i­den­cies tak­ing place in the same year) are not per­mit­ted. Those who have been already sup­ported within VARP in pre­vi­ous years and have their projects closed are eli­gi­ble for the support;
  • Students can­not apply, i.e., appli­cants who are enrolled in Bachelor’s or Master’s pro­grams at any uni­ver­sity at the time of apply­ing can­not be considered;
  • Preferred will be those appli­cants who have not yet received arts schol­ar­ship in New York.
