ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Nexus Artspace, in collaboration with i.e. Art Projects Online Arts Foundation, hosts four residency cycles each year. The residency serves as a platform to enhance the skills and practices of established and emerging artists, designers, researchers, and other cultural practitioners through dedicated virtual resources. It supports artists in producing and exhibiting their work, both virtually and/or physically, offering with mentoring and visibility. The residency focuses on fostering discursive exchange and enabling artists to engage deeply with artistic research and practice. Artists will have the opportunity to explore their interests and research goals, with the residency serving as an introduction to a specific theme for each cycle. Our Selection Committee chooses the residents for each cycle based on submissions received after the open call.
