The IASPIS residency programme in Stockholm has nine studios, four for Sweden-based and five for international artists in the field of visual and applied arts. For three to six months, artists are offered the opportunity to work in their own studio, meet colleagues from Sweden and all over the world and take part in the entire IASPIS activities. The Artist in Residence has access to a studio in the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s premises as well as a grant to cover the costs of subsistence, accommodation and other expenses. Residents have the opportunity to take part in various IASPIS activities during the residency period. We arrange talks, meetings, study visits, travels, studio visits by visiting international curators and public events in various forms. The purpose of all these activities is to promote opportunities for artistic development, international outlook and exchange. [Photo: IASPIS - The Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
