Open Call for residency in Brno Artists in Residence, Czech Republic (International Open Call)

25. 5. 2022 – 31. 7. 2022

Brno Artists in Residence is happy to announce an international Open Call for visual artists, curators or theoreticians of any nationality, gender or age for a two months residency stay between June – July 2023 hosted by the House of Arts Brno, in Brno, Czech Republic.

The residency is intended to provide a platform for focused work, research, study, activism, regeneration and free exploration of any kind. BAiR’s elementary philosophy is to create a space for free artistic expression without the pressure to produce a complete and significant presentation outcome within the time- and space-range of the residency. The wellbeing of our guests – be it artists, curators or theoreticians – is our top priority.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Brno Artists in Residence program regularly hosts artists-in-residence since 2016 and is a key constituent of the House of Arts' conceptual framework. A top floor of the House of the Lords of Kunštát, which is one of the two headquarters of the institution, has been refurnished to provide facilities for accommodation and work for artists in three studios.

The House of Arts Brno international residency program has been launched with the objective to develop opportunities for an exchange of ideas and opinions between the Czech and international art scene. Visual artists in various disciplines, curators and contemporary art theoreticians are invited to take part in the residency. BAiR’s residency program operates in close interconnection with the G99 gallery to create a space for focused work and presentation of up-to-date approaches in contemporary art.
