Category:Residencies in Slovenia

Over recent decades, arts residencies 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 diverse settings – from rural areas to urban centres – and are run by both independent organisations and public institutions. They differ in scale, duration and disciplinary focus: some are dedicated to literature or animation, while others are multidisciplinary. AiR programmes may be accessed through open calls or by invitation and they vary in terms of financial support, working conditions and expectations regarding 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.
