AiR Green and Norwegian Textile Artists (NTK) announce an artist-in-residence opportunity for artists whose work relates to textile media. The residency is at Søndre Green farm in Noresund, at the foot of the Norefjell mountain range in Krødsherad Municipality, Buskerud County, Norway.
With this residency, NTK aims to create an arena for concentration and in-depth research, to contribute to the development and presentation of textile art, and to promote contact between artists who use different approaches to textile media.
AiR Green is for professional national and international artists who work with textile media, fibre art, or who have a project relating to textiles. Although some previous experience with textile art is required, there is no requirement that textile is the main medium in the applicant’s practice. Note that the residency is independent; no instructions in textile techniques or the like will be given. The residency also applies solely to the artists (it does not extend to family members, partners, pets, etc.).
NTK offers two different artist residencies at Søndre Green farm:
- AiR Green: For four artists at the same time for four weeks. Ordinary AiR Green is offered for one period in the spring and one period in the fall. The residency includes a grant of 5,000 NOK per person for four weeks’ residency. Travel expenses up to 3,500 NOK will be reimbursed. Artists are given free accommodation and work space.
- AiR Green Studio: For only one artist with a duration of two months. AiR Green Studio is offered for one period in the spring and one period in the fall. The residency includes a grant of 10,000 NOK for a two-months residency. Travel expenses up to 3,500 NOK will be reimbursed. Artists are given free accommodation and work space.
