Due to the multidisciplinary nature of neimënster, we offer residencies in a wide range of disciplines: visual arts, dance, composition, literature, performing arts and music. The main criteria for the selection of artists are the originality of the project as well as its innovative and socially engaged character. According to the artistic discipline and the form of the residency, the latter will take place on a time scale from one week up to six months. The artistic projects realised during the residencies will figure as exhibitions or performances in our program. During the residency, we also guarantee encounters in different contexts between the artist and the public as well as professionals, in order to allow them to peek into the creative process of the artist.

L'alba (Latin 'the dawn'), signifying the "House of Shared Talents", is an artist residence founded by Melanie de Biasio. The house aims to be a place of encounters, simplicity, and exchanges, a playground to broaden horizons. L'Alba offers creators a moment of pause, a warm and benevolent refuge, a laboratory where they can freely experiment with alternate paths, thus allowing the still submerged part of their talent to blossom and "let the imprudence come...", to paraphrase Alain Bashung. There is currently no call for residencies. Instead, we work based on the availability of spaces and the compelling nature of the projects presented at the application stage. Your application is welcome at any time. Four sectors are eligible for the residency: Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Literature and Books, and Heritage. The long-term residency (from 1 to 2 months), the medium-term residency (1 to 2 weeks), and the short-term residency (1 to 2 days) are available.
The Old School art residency is the first international artist residency program in Bulgaria and accept artists who create in the field of the visual arts (painting and drawing, wall painting, photography, installations, video, filmmaking, land art, etc.) and performance arts (music, dance, theatre).

We believe that in doing so we help with the creation of a new generation of people/artists who have the bravery and courage to challenge and change themselves.
