OTHER
Other expenses, such as living costs, travel, materials, insurance and transport must be covered by the artists. We encourage all applicants to apply for funding in their home countries.
Residency artists are expected to do a short artist talk/reading/concert/performance etc. during the stay.
As we are running the residency on limited administrative resources, selected artists must be prepared to be self-reliant at times. We will do our best to facilitate contacts, networking and local collaborative partners so that the artists can achieve what they have set out to do for their stay. Trondheim is a small and friendly city, and it is easy to get in touch with the local art community.
We do not have elevators in any of our buildings.
