Residencies & Studios
Since 2019, residencies and studio programmes have been a cornerstone of AHC’s mission to support artistic development and production. The programmes provide artists with time, space and a platform to dedicate themselves to research, experimentation, creating new works and building new collaborations and networks. In other words, we seek to offer the best possible professional frameworks for artistic growth, production and communication, aligning with each artist’s unique practice, needs and potential.
Below, you will find our current residency programmes, as well as information on studios and workshops.

RESIDENCY TO-GO
Residency To Go is a six-month program with a focus on artistic development, which takes place in the visual artist’s own studio. Dedicated to artists who live outside the urban area of Copenhagen, Residency To Go aims to offer development opportunities to visual artists who live far from the capital and thus support that the Danish art scene remains geographically diverse.
