are 2025 funded international visual arts residency
Apply now for the ARE 2025 funded residency for international visual artists!
ARE invites international artists to apply for our artist-in-residence program in Enschede for 2025. We offer 6 residency spots across 3 periods, artists may indicate their first and second period preferences:
- January-March
- May-July
- September-November
We welcome applications from visual artists in any discipline who can communicate in English and are open to collaborative projects with other artists, cultural institutions, or local communities. Applicants should explain why they wish to undertake the residency in Enschede, the importance of this location, and how they will engage with the local environment or communities in their work.
ARE is an internationally oriented artist-in-residence. We therefore do not accept applications from artists residing in the Netherlands.
Please note: Travel costs and living expenses are not covered by ARE.
The residency spans 3 months and includes free housing, studio space, basic tools, wifi, a bicycle, and a material budget. Each artist will have the opportunity for a solo exhibition/ presentation in the end of the residency. ARE provides the resident artists with a material budget, depending on individual projects, but advises artists to secure additional funding from elsewhere.
