Kaunas invites four artists from the CreArt 3.0 Network to work for six weeks in Kaunas AiR in the period of 5 May – 15 June 2025.
Kaunas partners, PI ‘Artkomas’ have a large experience of organising visual arts projects, and short-term residencies in their city as well as other cities and towns of Lithuania. With their own focus on painting, ‘Artkomas’ cooperates, however, with experts of other visual arts fields (like Lithuanian Artists Association, Kaunas Vytautas Magnus University New Media Studies Department, etc.). Therefore, they are able to offer necessary conditions for creation to painters, photographers, and new media artists, who would like to participate in this part of CreArt 3.0 project.
Kaunas will organise introduction to the local artists’ community and the artists will have to have open days for visitors. Kaunas will make a final public presentation of the artworks created during the residency (a group exhibition of the four artists). The exhibition will be displayed in Kaunas, in co-operation with the Lithuanian Artists Association gallery. One artwork must remain for Kaunas Art Center (PI ‘Artkomas’).
Visual artists (a painter, a photographer or a new media artist) born or living in one of the cities of the CreArt 3.0 network can apply: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Latvia), Skopje (Northern Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), České Budějovice (Czech Republic), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany), members of HDLU (Croatian Association of Visual Artists), Ukrainian artists through collaboration with Dialog from Lviv.
The organisation will reimburse to artists travel expenses to Kaunas (up to 400 EUR). Studio and accommodation is free. The artists will receive a grant of 600 EUR + 300 EUR for materials.
