Art residency in Norway

Deadline: 12th October 2019

We offer 2 professional artists of any discipline a working stay of two months at Velferden Centre for Contemporary Art.
The dates are March 1st - April 30th 2020.


The two selected artists will share accommodation located about 5 minutes walk from Velferden. Each artist will be given a private bedroom and will share bathroom, kitchen and livingroom. The artists will be allocated a shared studio space with 24 hr access in Velferdens main gallery. Velferden is also an excellent space for working outdoors and in the surrounding landscape.

During the two months, the artists will get an extensive introduction to the area, and will get the chance to meet up with the regional art scene in Sandnes/Stavanger.
2 guest curators/artists will present their work at Velferden and offer studio visits to the artists, and in March we will have a weekend seminar on the subject of Maps in which the artists are welcome to join.
