Each season, StudioBéluga dedicates its space and facilities to hosting self-directed and thematic residencies produced by artists, curators, scholars, and other creative professionals. Intended to work conceptually with the studio’s exhibition and events programs, these residencies bring together participants from diverse backgrounds that share ideals and interests, in order to generate a working and thinking environment and to facilitate creative exchange of new ideas.
The length of the Residency is two months: June 1st - August 15th. During this time, each artist is offered a space of 200-400 sqft to develop the proposed project. At the end of the term, a selection of the residents’ projects is curated by the board into a group exhibition.
We accept applications from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Applicants may propose one or more projects to be completed during their residency at Studio Béluga. The selection committee, composed of artists, curators, and art historians, evaluates proposals on the basis of artistic merit and welcomes submissions from emerging and established artists regardless of experience and background.
Currently we charge a fee of $800. We provide all necessary assistance for thequalified applicants to obtain personal grants from their respective country.
