There are no age restrictions.

If you are an artist, you can pursue your own practice during the residency and, at the end, prepare a presentation, screening, exhibition or other event of your choice (if you wish), but an artist talk is mandatory.

If you are a curator, we suggest that you conduct your own research, prepare a public programme or develop an exhibition concept.

During the residency, you will receive funds for production, accommodation, a scholarship (at least PLN 2,000) and travel expenses.

We have been cooperating with the Galeria Labirynt for many years and have a trusting partnership and mutual support. Labirynt is one of the European institutions that systematically supports and cooperates with the Ukrainian art community. That is why we recommend participating in the open competition.
