Congratulations!
You have been selected by one of our scouts because they think the EKWC could be the right place for you.
About the EKWC artist-in-residence program
The EKWC annually welcomes around 60 creative professionals of different disciplines from all parts of the world, and all stages of experience — from emerging to established artists, from beginners to those well-experienced with ceramic materials and techniques — for a twelve week residency. We offer accommodation, studios, workshops, basic-and-advanced equipment and guidance from our experienced advisors and staff.
Residency
A residency at EKWC offers an opportunity to explore the possibilities of ceramics and to expand their technical and material knowledge.
On average, sixteen residents stay at the EKWC at the same time, with a new resident starting, and a resident completing their residency every week. This means that the composition of the resident group is steadily evolving over a given resident’s twelve-week stay, and that residents have the opportunity to meet many new peers and expand their respective creative networks.
What does it mean to be selected by a scout?
Each year, from June to mid-August, the EKWC hosts an open call for residency applications. If you are interested in applying for a residency at the EKWC, please follow the standard application procedure. We kindly ask that you indicate the name of your scout in your application. This will serve as a recommendation, and we will review your application with heightened attention and care. And, if the selection committees provides a positive evaluation, guarantees the EKWC grant.
For more information regarding the application guidelines and residency costs, please refer to the following links:
