NEIRO seeking applicants for Open Call Artist Residency
Artistic residence
NEIRO invites artists from all disciplines to an artist residence in our studio in Prague. In addition to the living area, studio and equipment that will be provided to you during the program, you will have the opportunity to publicly present your work in a final presentation that will be sponsored by NEIRO. The residential premises are suitable for residents in the field of fine arts, who can use the space as a studio for drawing, painting, etc., as well as for artists overlapping with performance, audio and audiovisual production, which will be available technical equipment NEIRO studio.
The main aim of the project is to support the creative development of artists in other than their home environment, where they will be able to fully concentrate on their creations and collect creative impulses from a new place. One of the other goals is the creative confrontation of the local art scene with the art scene of the resident and vice versa, which will lead to new collaborations and new creative impulses. NEIRO believes that space, time and creative impulses arising from the clash of different approaches, cultures, environments and disciplines are essential for the development of artistic creation with social outreach.

The NEIRO Residence will take the form of one or more weeks as agreed in the quiet residential area of NEIRO, which is situated in the inspirational art district of Vršovice. Residents will be able to use the residential and NEIRO residential space to work on their projects. An important aspect of the residence will be the introduction of the resident into the Czech art environment in the form of meetings with local artists and their work.
The artists’ residency will culminate in a public output according to the project of a particular artist (exhibition, performance, public screening, public space interventions, music, theater or dance productions, public reading, etc.). Members of the realization team will provide residents with production assistance in the implementation of their projects and help them establish contacts with Czech artists and institutions.
