A discovery guide for Ukraine: art residency at Bakota Hub

Sector: Culture and creative industries
Type: Residency
Location: Bakota, Ukraine
Deadline: 30 April 2025 at 23:59 Kyiv time
Organiser: EU

This is an opportunity to create your route through Bakota for a printed art guide to Ukraine. The guide will be a map of places, stories, and impressions that open our country to foreigners in a new way.

You will have everything to immerse yourself in creativity — a space away from worries, the support of a curator and a community of like-minded people. You will receive a fee of EUR 3,000 for your work.

The residency is part of the A Discovery Guide for Recovery project, which is implemented with the support of Creative Europe. This is one of thousands of EU opportunities for Ukrainians.
