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.
