IMMA welcomes expressions of interest for a **Dwell Here: One Month Residency** for practices based in Ireland and internationally to reside and practice for up to a month at the museum. This opportunity invites practices working across disciplines of the visual arts, design, architecture, curation and related humanities fields. Successful applicants will be supported to undertake independent site-responsive research in addition to their participation in a week long seasonal research intensive.

  
IMMA’s Dwell Here programme is structured around four seasonal Research Intensives – week-long forums with an expanded community of mentors, peers, and fellow residents gathering onsite for communal engagement and interdisciplinary dialogue. One month residents are invited to undertake independent, site-responsive research for three of their four week residency. The fourth week (whether at the beginning, middle, or end of their contracted residency) must overlap with a selected seasonal Research Intensive week. This open call is programming for intensives on the following dates in 2025:

  
* **Dwell Here: Spring Research Intensive / Wednesday 05 – Tuesday 11 Feb 2025**
* **Dwell Here: Summer Research Intensive / Wednesday 14 – Tuesday 20 May 2025**

A one month residency includes a requirement to engage with the expanded community participating in each research intensive. Themes highlighted in the Dwell Here: Research Invitation will inform intensive planning. Studio engagements may surface as a workshop, a temporary exhibition, a reading group, a walking tour, an open studio, a talk, a site visit, a performance, or other studio related activities for the onsite community and invited guests. In addition to these potential activities it is anticipated that each Research Intensive will be informed by:

  
* Methods of presenting self-directed research and studio practice
* Discussions and studio visits with mentors, peers, and fellow Dwell Here residents
* Interaction with IMMA programming, staff, collections, archives, and site
* Off-site visits (local and further afield)
* Engagement with Ireland’s arts communities and infrastructures
* Informal knowledge exchange synonymous with the residency experience such as co-hospitality, co-working and a co-living environment

  
Dwell Here offers participants a simple proposition: to commit to this time and place while thinking deeply about its urgencies. Together we are curious to learn what can be activated or challenged through the process of dwelling. IMMA encourages reflection across the following themes to consider geographical, historical, political and cultural concepts of Ireland as a starting point to expand and connect international contexts through similarities and differences:

  
**Technologies of Peace** – We invite participants to consider commemorative landscapes and memories of peace (as a dream, movement, or value) while generating perspectives on sustainable coexistence.

  
**The Irish Paradigm** – We welcome artistic research that can create intimacy and connections, while celebrating the perceived agility and freedoms of operating on the periphery. As a small island on the edge of Europe, Ireland often has a challenging relationship with ‘the centre’.

  
**The Museum as a Site of Vibration** – We wish to consider how the museum and site can create new vibrations and rhythms within the built legacy of empire. How can museums make visible cultural shifts, including erased, censored or marginalised histories, as well as sustainability, planetary care, sharing and hospitality.

A one month residency offers participants deeper insights into the context of visual arts practices in Ireland, strengthening international connections and communities with the potential to prompt ideas for embedded projects such as public workshops, continued practice based research or even commissions which will be welcomed to emerge as proposals following the one month sited experience at IMMA.

  
Support:

  
* Free onsite accommodation (with your own bedroom and separate to studio)
* Access to an onsite IMMA studio (if required)
* Amenities such as electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, parking etc
* A weekly bursary of €250 for pre-agreed contracted weeks
* One return journey for residents living outside of Ireland
* IMMA’s residency is a self-catering facility, occasional hospitality is provided

Curiosibot Lab, located in the vibrant artistic neighborhood of Russafa, Valencia, is excited to announce the opening of applications for the CREAte Music Residency. This unique residency is designed for musicians, composers, and sound artists who are eager to explore new frontiers in music production and performance by integrating cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  
Our mission is to foster a collaborative environment where technology and art intersect, empowering artists to create groundbreaking work. As the only space in Valencia offering this blend of creative resources, Curiosibot Lab provides a supportive and inspiring setting for artists to push the boundaries of their craft.

  
This one-month residency will particularly welcome musicians interested in learning about AI music tools using platforms like Google Colab and other innovative software. Participants will have the opportunity to create unique samples and sounds to integrate into their music. Artist will receive monitoring from the director and technical training in utilizing AI tools. Additionally, artists will learn about training their work using the plugin Combobulator, with the guidance of external collaborator Ben Cantil of Datamind Audio, who will conduct a workshop on utilizing this powerful tool and how to create sounds for this plugin trained on the artist’s sounds. Familiarity with python or Google Colab is helpful but not a requirement. 

  
We welcome artists with no previous knowledge of AI and an interest in sound design. We will not be focusing on tools such as Udio (or full track generation tools), rather tools that can create samples, and create new sounds trained on the artist’s own work. Our main DAW is Ableton, but also have Logic and Pro Tools. 

**Funding:** The residency provides accommodation, workspace, mentoring, a travel allowance (350–700 EUR), a daily allowance (25 EUR/day) and top-ups (for sustainable travel, travel from Overseas Countries and Territories or Outermost Regions, visa fees up to 80€, family support and disability support). The on-site accommodation is a studio apartment with a kitchenette AC/Heat, bathroom, internet, TV and access to laundry.

  

Curiosibot Lab: AI Music + Sound Design

We search for individual **Artists** **who will come together with the End-Users to address specific local challenges for artist-driven experiments conducted in local test sites**. The selected teams will work together on a proposal to tackle a challenge in a concrete test site provided by the End-User (e.g., supermarket, bio farm, community garden, production facility, restaurant).

S+T+ARTS Hungry EcoCities Residences: Phase 2

We warmly invite you to apply for the residency program "Fluid Materialities" – Artistic Research / Artists in Residence (February 3 - May 10, 2025 in Trier, Germany).

Fluid Materialities emphasizes the interconnectedness of all life forms, asks about the agenda of non-human beings, listens to the stories of things and materiality, and creates space for collective consideration and reflection on coexistence and diversity in an ever-changing future. We are seeking contributions that embody these acknowledgements in their artistic practice.

**The program is funded by the European Union and supported by the Goethe-Institute and** hosted by a transdisciplinary artist with a professional background in theatre and project management, focusing on media arts, writing and composing with a body-based research practice. Collaborators on this project include the Department of Art and Design at the University of Applied Sciences Trier, curator and co-founder of the Collective Rewilding Sabina Oroshi (a.o.).

The residency fosters a collaborative environment for the exchange of diverse knowledge, insights, and sense of intuition. The site-specific nature of the residency allows for immersion in Trier’s historical and architectural vibrancy, as well as its rich natural environment of mountains, rivers and waterfalls, to work on individual artistic threads of Fluid Materialities. The residency culminates in a public presentation.

**Residency Activities**

* Excursions to nature and landscape areas around Trier.
* Visit to KINDLAB at the Department of Art and Design, University of Applied Sciences Trier, to get an inside perspective on their research process in the field of AI, design & sustainability.
* An introduction to ceramic and 3D printing and a hands-on workshop if you wish to experiment with the medium.
* Visit to the Musée d’Art Moderne and the Forum d’art contemporain in Luxembourg City.
* Regular opportunities to share your artistic process and research, as well as conversations about ‘making with’ nature, AI, materiality, site-specific responsibilities, and more than human approaches at a pace that suits individual workflows. (Experience of working with AI is not required.)

Fluid Materialities also acknowledges our bodies as materiality, intertwined with everything else. We consider rest, digestion, and recharging as part of the work, advocate slow and sustainable ways of working, encourage deep listening, and integrate artistic research with a reflective structure that examines our roles as artists within a capitalist system that often disregards the importance of bodily intelligence.

* Free accommodation (private room, shared facilities, or studio apartment, if you come with your child)
* Travel allowance: €350
* Artist Compensation: €750 / month
* Private Workspace

  
**Possible Residency Grant Top-Ups:**

The Wave Pool Art Space Is Your Space Program awards sponsored residencies to local, national, and international artists interested in engaging Cincinnati with their artistic practice. Residents become part of the dynamic artistic community of Cincinnati, Ohio and are asked to engage the community in at least one public workshop, program, or performance during their stay.

  
Wave Pool’s artist in residency program is unique in that the artists stay in our Residency apartment onsite, just across the street from our gallery space. The successful candidate will conduct a project aimed at a specific audience and/or purpose within our diverse urban climate.

Residencies of 2-6 weeks include flexible live/work studio space, a month long exhibition in our gallery (when appropriate), opportunities for artistic community engagement and programming, and a $2000 stipend for the project (which includes living/travel expenses). 

Artist In Residence ‘Art Space Is Your Space’

Once a year, Wave Pool offers a different kind of artist residency program that builds upon a private, local collection of world class work by female-identifying artists: the Sara M. and Michelle Vance Waddell Collection. This residency, like our others, will be socially-engaged, working collaboratively with our neighborhood and specific community groups within it. The Artist in Residence will have intimate access to the Vance Waddell collection, which features the work of artists who have and are working to resist oppression, subvert public scrutiny, and suggest alternative visual paradigms within the personal and political spheres. The successful candidate will respond to and build their project around the concepts and ideas offered in artworks held in the collection, as they create something new, needed, and proactive for our community.

The Resident-selected inspirational work(s) from the Vance Waddell collection will then be on public view, throughout the course of their exhibition. More importantly however, we hope that the work(s) will be activated through the socially engaged artist driven project and will extend the messages of these historically significant works out into our community with programs and partnerships. 

Selected project grant awardees will receive:

* A $2,000 budget to create a socially-engaged exhibition in our main gallery space
* A flexible live/work space on site during the course of their Residency
* Access to a private collection of radical feminist-leaning artwork
* Programming and installation support from Wave Pool
* Staffing support to help execute the experience for the public during open hours

  

The Vance Waddell Feminist Residency

Summer 2025 Artist-in-Residence Program is offered to parents and educators who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in McColl Center residency because of their responsibilities during school/university periods. This residency will support their practices, give you the chance to bring your family with you, use the facilities, and equipment offered by the Center on our Labs.

Artists may work in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, film, video, new media, written or spoken word, or interdisciplinary practices.

We provide private housing adjacent to McColl Center, a large private studio in our historic building in uptown Charlotte, curatorial guidance, marketing and PR support, and a generous stipend. We also provide free access to summer camps for children ages 6 - 14.

Artists-in-Residence participate in a group exhibition and lead one to two community engagements centered around their practice.

  
Stipend: $6,000 living, materials, and travel stipend (United States-based artists only; due to the limitations of visas, international artists may not qualify for a stipend but may be eligible to receive reimbursement of qualified expenses, such as airfare, ground transportation, supplies, and meals.)

Parent + Educator Residency Summer 2025

This is a call for applications for a contemporary artist to come to the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) as an artist-in-residence at the Centre for South Asian Critical Humanities (CSACH) for the winter semester (February-April 2025). Our community partner for this initiative is the South Asian Visual Arts Centre (SAVAC).

We invite applications from contemporary practicing artists for developing and installing artistic projects, who will come to UTM to develop work that will be site-responsive or site-specific, culminating in an eventual installation on campus. The art can be digital or material or performative, in any medium. At present we can guarantee office space, we cannot guarantee access to studio space. 

As the artist develops their creative work at UTM, discussion of their practice will be integrated into courses in History, History of Religions, Women and Gender Studies, Visual Culture and Communication, Art History, Studio Art, and/or Cinema Studies. Interested classes will invite the selected artist to come and speak about their work and engage students in participatory/experiential activities related to artmaking as a response to political and social transformations in contemporary South Asia and the South Asian diaspora. The artist will also be expected to give one public lecture about their art practice at the University towards the end of their residency. 

**The vision and purposes of this artist-in-residence program are:**

1. To use art practice and display to build bridges between UTM and its wider communities.
2. To engage university and non-university communities in the ongoing potential of art in education.
3. To encourage more of our students to see themselves as active participants and contributors to Canada’s and Mississauga’s cultural landscape.

The artist residency will invite art into the academic spaces of our university, disrupting existing forms of communication and achievement, and giving students and faculty spaces to think about the role of contemporary art in public conversations. With the diverse student body of UTM and the larger Mississauga area, this program will help to develop an appreciation of contemporary visual art as practised by racialized artists in a wider community and significantly contribute to UTM’s cultural landscape. 

**What we seek from the artist:**

* Weekly presence on campus (min. 2 days a week)
* Consistent community engagement via talks, workshops, seminars, class-visits
* One public lecture
* Non-permanent installation on campus

  

* Artist’s fee: 3 months residency (February-April) x $5,000/month= $15,000.00 (accommodation and parking are not included). For the duration of the residency (February-April), the artists’ fee will be paid in monthly installments.
* Production budget (up to $4,000) negotiable based on projected material needs.
* Shared office space (there is no available studio space)
* University resources (Wi-Fi, library card)
* Access to SAVAC’s archives and research centre

Edgar Heap of Birds Family Artist Residency

Cirkus Kolektiv is calling for applications from artists and collectives working in contemporary circus and outdoor arts for their Outdoor Art Research Lab residency programme in Split, Croatia (March – April 2025), supported by Culture Moves Europe.

  
The residency programme seeks to foster outdoor exploration and creation within contemporary circus and outdoor arts. By focusing on public spaces and their specific contexts, the programme hopes to encourage a unique approach to artistic expression that is currently underrepresented in Croatia. The Outdoor Art Research Lab residency programme can foster a vibrant dialogue between artists, local communities, and the urban landscape, ultimately reimagining Split’s public spaces as places of connection and creativity.

● Collaborate with local artists and communities 

● Develop innovative and site-specific outdoor art projects

● Receive mentorship and production support

● Participate in public presentations and events

● Give workshops to the local community in their field of interest

  
Background: In recent years, Split has experienced a significant transformation, shifting from a primarily residential city to a thriving tourist destination. This transition has had a profound impact on both the tangible and intangible aspects of urban life. As tourism has expanded, gentrification and the homogenization of public spaces have led to a decline in their accessibility and relevance for residents. Consequently, public spaces in Split have become increasingly marginalized in the mental maps and daily lives of residents, contributing to a sense of disconnection between the community and their city.

**WHAT WE OFFER:**

● 22-day residency in Split (indoor and outdoor workspace available)

● Public presentation of your exploration and creation during Split Calling Festival 2025

● Production support

● Audience discussions and moderation

● Feedback and guidance during the exploration

● Networking opportunities

● Promotion and visibility

● Workshop organization

  
Cirkus Kolektiv will cover **travel expenses**, accommodation, and a per diem of 25 EUR per day during the residency period including **travel expenses, accommodation and fee for the Split Calling 2025 festival presentation (October 2025)**. In addition to this, each artist will receive 500 EUR of support for production costs. The selected artists/projects will also be submitted to available funding open calls to obtain more production cost support.
