Arnis Residency is an annual residency programme for contemporary artists on a peninsula in Northern Germany, taking place from 18 September – 3 October 2022. It encourages participants to engage with the region’s local and remote context in order to encounter a world characterised by connections and flows beyond cities.
Aiming to expand the notion of residencies in rural places as opportunities beyond mere retreats, the residency encourages practical applications that engage with the region’s economic, historic, socio-political or geographical conditions. Selected residents will participate in a final public exhibition located throughout various sites across Arnis.
The residency is open to contemporary art disciplines such as performance, film, painting, sculpture, photography, writing, installation, sound and new media.
Arnis Residency offers accommodation, food, sailing trips and swims in the Schlei for the duration of two weeks. Each applicant (duos count as one) is provided an individual room as well as a space to work in locations suitable to one’s project (a small studio space, a shed, and a sailing boat). Each applicant will have access to a travel allowance of 100€ and a small production stipend of 50€.
