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 for five months. The spring residency is from February to June 2026, while the autumn residency is from September 2026 to January 2027.
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 offers 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 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 expected that the residents organize their residency period so that their working hours are primarily spent at Thoravej 29.
