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.
Stuudio Labus is an artist-run residency programme primarily designed for fiber and textile artists. Our primary aim is to cultivate an environment that fosters creativity, experimentation, and introspection for artists working within the textile field. We strive to offer a platform for sharing skills, experiences, and connections within the vibrant world of fiber and textile art. Situated in an industrial area of Tallinn, Estonia, our studio is located within a former cement factory building. Our residency can accommodate 1-2 artists, with stays ranging from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of three months. An integral part of our residency programme is the introduction to Estonia's fiber and textile art scene. This includes events, workshops, visits to studios and cultural institutions, and more.

The Maker in Residence is a residency programme for Designers and Makers at the Valletta Design Cluster, a community hub for cultural and creative practice in Malta. The residency offers designers time and space away from their usual routine to reflect, research, and consider new ways of developing their practice or product. Share your results with like-minded individuals, professionals, and the public through a final event, talk, workshop, and exhibition at the end of the residency. We welcome makers who are developing sustainable products, processes and materials such as those that reduce waste, conserve energy or use recycled material, and/or makers who are using their skills and creativity to reimagine existing products, services or systems. This includes makers who are developing new ways to produce or consume goods or creating new models for community problem-solving. Makers who are developing products and services that address social challenges such as urban greening, accessibility and promoting community engagement in making are also encouraged to join the programme.

The Pécs Writers’ Program, which is located in the city of Pécs in southwestern Hungary, was launched in 2007. The program is a familiar solution used the world over to help cultivate and maintain relationships among people active in contemporary literature. One of the essential features of the Writers’ Residence program in Hungary is that they give the authors who spend time here a chance to familiarize themselves with the towns and cities in which they live and work, make friends and acquaintances, build ties with other authors and people in the publishing world, and develop an attachment to the country and its culture. On some level, they become “cultural ambassadors” who take knowledge of Hungary and of Hungary’s literature and culture back to their homelands and with them in their travels the world over. The relationships they develop with other authors during their time in Hungary become part of a larger international network. [Photo: official website]
K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence was implemented in 2011 as one of the key projects within the frame of “European Capital of Culture” by the NGO “Kosice 2013”. The NGO transformed to Creative Industry Košice, an organization, where K.A.I.R. had stable ground to develop the international activities and network of partners. In 2016, KAIR became an independent association. The residency program is for artists from all over the world and out of all artistic disciplines and expressions. We give them the possibility to work in the inspiring environment of Košice’s singular cultural surrounding to realize art projects, collaborate with the agile local art scene and present themselves to the local and national public. We choose artists based on open calls in cooperation with our international partners. Until now, we have sent and invited artist from different countries like e.g. Poland, Germany, Georgia, Ukraine or Japan.
