If you are interested in making an application please click on the program name to see more information or contact us. Places available are limited so it advisable to apply early.

On these symposia you will be creating your own work alongside acknowledged masters in their field. The invited guest artists will be working on their own projects or in collaboration with the other residents. The invited masters will present their working methods and discuss their ideas and philosophy during demonstrations, formal and informal seminars and public lectures.

This year we are also presenting 3 Master-courses featuring leading experts in their fields. Click the program for details and course content.
