The members of the European Creative Rooftop Network, are pleased to announce an open call for 18 transdisciplinary Rooftop Artist Residencies in the summer of 2022. The residencies are available for artists who live and work in the 9 European cities of the ECRN (Amsterdam, Antwerp, Barcelona, Belfast, Chemnitz, Faro, Gothenburg, Nicosia, Rotterdam) to travel in one of the other 8 European cities of the network and develop artwork related to… Rooftops!
The project invites artists of various disciplines and creative backgrounds to apply for a funded residency of 8 weeks in one of the partner-cities of the ECRN.
Every artist selected must be committed to:
- Dedicate 8 weeks for the Rooftop Artist Residency which will be split in three phases: 5 weeks of research working online + minimum of 2 weeks of residency in a host ECRN city (to be agreed with the ECRN partner) + 1 week of feedback and follow up. This can be adjusted only with agreement of both the sending and hosting partner.
- Produce 2 outputs:
- Develop a Rooftop Art Project in the host city and publicly present it (during an event or festival).
- Develop a Creative Rooftop Course for the local creative community of their city of origin and conduct it after the end of the Rooftop Artist Residency.
The ECRN cities are grouped in 3 CITY Trios and are exploring different themes and approaches for the Rooftop Artist Residencies. Artist exchange can only happen between cities that are in the same Trio:
- Amsterdam – Barcelona – Gothenburg.
- Belfast – Nicosia – Rotterdam.
- Antwerp – Chemnitz – Faro.
The project covers travel and accommodation, and offers a fee depending on which city trio the artist is applying for.
