Application Deadline: 28th February 2022

European Creative Rooftop Network invite artists of various disciplines and creative backgrounds to apply for a funded residency of 8 weeks in one of our 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:

A. Develop a Rooftop Art Project in the host city and publicly present it (during an event or festival):

B. 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.
