The ELPA Art and Design Residency emerged from the challenge of finding a new location for the Rucka Artist Residency after it vacated its previous space and deciding the future of a small natural farm following the passing of its last owner. The convergence of these two factors laid the foundation for the new residency space, situated in a picturesque natural environment nearby Līvāni town in Eastern part of Latvia. The name of the residency is derived from the Latvian word "elpa," which translates to "breath." This symbolizes the concept of taking a breath, the act of breathing in and out, and the idea of giving something a second life. The ELPA Art and Design Residency is a space for the exchange of ideas, the acquisition of new knowledge, and the implementation of ideas that arise from these intersections.
In 2002 a collective of young artists founded NGO Interdisciplinary Art group SERDE. SERDE developed the public workshop centre with technical equipment for experimental and innovative projects, and every summer SERDE residencies and workshops centre hosts international artists with different art backgrounds and projects. Many of them have an impact to the local environment and give input to the local community – sculptures and a mural in town, open studios and performances, etc. and offers residencies for local and international artists, culture workers, activists, managers and scientists. During the residencies for additional cost we offer a certain amount of professional assistance for creation of work, technical help and consultations. This has to be discussed and negotiated before the residency. At the end of residence we offer our technical equipment and premises for a concluding exhibition or presentation in Aizpute.
