Open call
Those participating in DIVA’s artists in residence programme will reap the benefits of time for research, the space and tools required for experimentation as well as expert support in their specific field.
A residency at DIVA is the chance of a lifetime to grow as a maker and to reflect on your work and creatively explore new ideas. It is also an opportunity to benefit from access to the museum’s excellent specialist library and to become better acquainted with the rich and diverse museum collection.
Meeting the public and other experts and professionals from the sector is an essential part of the residency. Leading makers, curators, theoreticians and gallery owners will visit DIVA' atelier during your residency and provide personalised feedback. Residents also have the opportunity to address and engage with the public. This will take the form of a DIVA talk and presentation of your work at DIVA.
DIVA offers each resident:
-
reimbursement of travel and accommodation costs up to €1,500
-
a work and production budget up to €1,500
Duration?
A residency at DIVA's atelier lasts three months.
