artist-in-residence
The EKWC annually welcomes around 60 creative professionals of different disciplines from all over the world — and offers accommodation, studios, workshops, basic-and-advanced equipment and guidance from our experienced advisors and staff.
workperiod
A work period at the EKWC lasts for twelve weeks — in which time residents can focus on their individual practice, conduct research, experiment, work to realize their plans, and exchange with fellow artists and designers, advisors and staff.
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.
residents
Our residents are creative professionals with a diverse range of practices, 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 those new to ceramics, the process of getting to know the material will take time and involve a learning curve — but this is a good thing! Residents are encouraged to be receptive to newness and to ask questions. Our facilities are designed, and our mandate geared, towards helping residents learn, grow, and realize their visions.
