Artists-in-residence opportunities in Slovenia
Over recent decades, arts residencies (AiR) have become a vital component of the contemporary art ecosystem, contributing significantly to the development of artistic practice. Organised as dedicated time and space for artists and other cultural professionals to focus on research or production, they also foster exchange between residents and the environments in which they work.
Slovenian AiR programmes take place in various settings, from rural areas to urban centres, and are organised by independent organisations and public institutions. They differ in scale, duration, and disciplinary focus: some focus on literature or animation, while others are multidisciplinary. Programmes are accessible through open calls or by invitation, and vary in financial support, working conditions, and expectations for public presentations or final outcomes.
Beyond offering accommodation and workspace, AiR programmes in Slovenia foster dialogue, collaboration, and community engagement, connecting international and local artists with cultural organisations and audiences, and enriching the Slovenian cultural landscape. Explore the variety of AiR opportunities active in Slovenia today.
