Description

The Art Box Residency Centre is an independent, interdisciplinary residency programme based in Novi Sad and Petrovaradin, Serbia. It provides space and time for artists, curators, writers, researchers, translators, journalists, scholars, and other cultural practitioners to develop artistic projects, conduct research, write, experiment, and engage with the local cultural context.

The residency is open to artists at different stages of their careers, from emerging to established practitioners. It is intended for artists with an academic background in the arts or a related field and is not open to students.

Applications by women artists are particularly encouraged.

ART BOX offers two residency locations: a separate studio in Petrovaradin, on the slopes of Fruška Gora, and a fully equipped apartment in Novi Sad. Depending on the location and project, residencies range from short stays of up to seven days to longer stays of one week to three months.

Residents are encouraged to work independently while also engaging in exchange with the local artistic and cultural community. The residency may support the development of new work, research, writing, publications, presentations, workshops, lectures, discussions, or other forms of public programme.

Outcome

The residency's outcome depends on the resident’s practice and the proposed project. The residency provides time and space for artistic research, writing, development of new work, experimentation and reflection.

Depending on the project, the residency may result in an artwork, body of research, text or publication, presentation, workshop, lecture, discussion or other public programme.

The residency can also provide opportunities for professional exchange, knowledge sharing and future collaboration.
