ARTIST RESIDENCY at LiTE-HAUS Berlin in May
About This Opportunity
LiTE-HAUS offers a 2 ½ week intensive artist residency program and exhibition in May for artists to expand and improve their practice in a serene and professional environment in the heart of Berlin's vibrant art scene. This residency will be conducted in English language. Artists of all ages, and at any stage of their careers may apply - from students to established artists. The program includes work stations, guidance, development, collaboration, critique, connection with art professionals, insight into the inner workings of a culture space, and working directly with the program team leaders.
The ideal candidates are artists who want to find or strengthen their artistic voice while also gaining knowledge about how art spaces operate.
This residency is open to international artists, not just Berlin residents. Lodging is available at LiTE-HAUS depending on which option you choose. We have two private rooms with a shared bathroom and kitchen. The rooms serve as both studio and sleeping quarters. However, travel expenses are the artist's responsibility. And if you choose not to stay at LiTE-HAUS, you must find and pay for your own lodging.
Residency artists have the opportunity to exhibit in an exhibition at the end of the residency, although artists are not required to participate.
This is a self guided residency. Artists may work from home or in LiTE-HAUS during the residency. However, we encourage artists to work at our space as often as possible to engage with the team and with fellow creators, to take full advantage of what this residency offers.
