Applications for the Art Hub Residency are now open for both spring and fall 2025. The deadline is Sunday 17 November 2024 at 23.59.
Each season, AHC invites three artists in residency. In this open call, you can apply for a residency in either spring or fall 2025. It is also possible to apply for both periods, but you can only be selected for one period.

ABOUT ART HUB RESIDENCY
The Art Hub Residency is both for newly qualified artists and other artists, where the residency programme can make a difference in relation to spreading and establishing a practice on a national and international level.
The residency runs over five months. The spring residency is from February to June 2025, while the autumn residency is from September 2025 to January 2026.
AHC is a network-creating institution that works actively to create and expand visual artists' networks both nationally and internationally.
With a focus on networking, dissemination, immersion and production, the Art Hub Residency basically consists of a studio, access to workshop facilities, a monthly fee and a sparring and development program based on the individual artist's needs.
Part of the program consists of meetings with selected curators/mentors as well as a visit program to several art institutions in Denmark. In addition to the focus on networking, the Art Hub Residency provides time for reflection and production.
The artist has access to workshop facilities at Thoravej 29, but there is no requirement to produce work during the stay. The time can thus be organized so that it fits into the individual's process: it can be research and studies, testing of ideas or actual production.
The program includes a requirement that you, as a resident during your stay, give an interview to a writer/curator who will convey your practice in writing. In addition, you must participate in a public presentation, which can take many forms: a talk, a podcast, a video, a text, a talk, a display, a performance or something else entirely. The presentations are shaped and organized together with the individual artist during the residency.
It is also expected that the residents organize their time so that their daily life is primarily spent at Thoravej 29, where AHC's office also will be.

MORE ABOUT THORAVEJ 29
In January 2025, AHC will move from Halmtorvet in Kødbyen to Thoravej 29 in Copenhagen's Northwest quarter, where completely new and larger facilities are ready in an older industrial building that has been transformed by pihlmann architects.
Here, AHC opens 14 studios and five workshops for artistic production, which will benefit both professional artists, curators and art researchers. The new facilities offer a professional place to work, where you can produce works, research, experiment, write, network and hold meetings - and not least be a central co-creator and part of a new artistic environment in Copenhagen, which also includes a new exhibition venue and a large stage for public events.
In addition to being AHC's new address, Thoravej 29 is also a public meeting place and a professional community for the organizations housed in the building. Read more here
The building has been designed to accommodate people with disabilities. There is level-free access to the house and access to all floors via lifts at both ends of the building. There are also wheelchair-friendly toilets on each floor.
