The Arvo Pärt Centre (supported by Nordic Culture Point) will invite four artists from the Nordic countries, as well as Latvia and Lithuania, to apply for a paid two-month residency at the Arvo Pärt Centre.
The residency is open to creative professionals (or duos) working in music – including performers, composers and sound artists – from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Latvia and Lithuania. The residency can take place any time between November 2024 and May 2025 and it will take place in the Arvo Pärt Centre, Laulasmaa, Estonia.
The aim of the residency is to provide four artists working in music the opportunity to immerse themselves in an inspiring environment and create work specifically exploring local cultural landscape and traditions. Projects may address ecological, historical or cultural themes.
During their stay, residents can attend all concerts and other events at the Centre for free. Furthermore, the residency includes networking opportunities with other creators and residents, both at the Arvo Pärt Centre and throughout Estonia. The residents may also use the Centre’s concert hall and studio for recording at no extra cost.
Residents will receive a daily allowance, and travel and accommodation expenses will be covered. A small budget for production costs, such as sound engineer fees or recording equipment rental, is also provided.
