Established artists track

For artists ready to go deeper with autonomy

You’ve been in the field for 5+ years. You’ve developed a practice, built a body of work, navigated production realities. Now you want protected time to pursue questions that commercial contexts won’t fund—with world-class resources and without the pressure of immediate outcomes.

What you get

Duration: 8 months standard; may extend to 10 months (January – August 2027)
Onboarding: 1 month intensive
Stipend: Artist fee for the residency period
Artist Fee: €26,000 (same total whether 8 or 10 months)
R&D Budget: €15,000 (lump sum for materials, equipment, travel, and other production needs not covered by consortium)
Flexibility: Greater autonomy in time allocation and trajectory

Time commitment

The residency averages approximately 2–2.5 days per week, but varies throughout:

Intensive periods (Onboarding, Sprints, Public Activations): May require 3 days/week or occasionally more
Development periods: Moderate pace between sprints
Low-intensity periods (Summer Incubator, holidays): Substantially reduced formal workload

If you extend to 10 months, the same total fee applies but weekly workload is proportionately reduced—accommodating artists with concurrent professional commitments.
