Curious Encounters: art residencies in Denmark

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Residency
Location: Ebeltoft, Denmark
Deadline: Finished
Organiser: Other

This is an opportunity to implement an interdisciplinary project dedicated to the more-than-human for artists and researchers. Join the residency to discover new ways of interaction with all living beings that share the planet with us.

The residency occupies 13 hectares in the heart of Mols Bjerge National Park. Every day you will wake up in an ancient house overlooking the sea and work in a comfortable work studio amid rustling of leaves and birds singing. Organisers will provide you with a monthly scholarship of EUR 1,800, accommodation and material costs.

Curious Encounters will take place in winter and spring. You can choose convenient dates yourself: from 9 January to 19 February, or from 17 April to 29 May, 2023.

The programme is provided by the Earthwise Residency with the support of the Danish Arts Foundation. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukraine.
