Bridge Guard－Residential Art / Science Centre supports artists, scientists and personalities from other professions who work on projects which place emphasis on uniting, connecting, and bridging. Support consists of making possible a 3 to 6 months’ sojourn in the “Bridge Guard” residence in Štúrovo, Slovakia, with the right to work in complete freedom on one’s own project, and with only minimal duties. The post of Bridge Guard requires a person in whose work boundaries of countries or eras are bridged, mental, social, religious or political boundaries are crossed, different scientific fields are connected, or various artistic media are utilized. He or she works on topics such as integrating, bridging, connecting, uniting opposites, exploring and moving boundaries, encountering the unknown in others and within oneself.
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]
The Horse and Art Research initiative is a unique residency program since 2015 and was established for those interested in combining equine knowledge and visual arts. We are looking for artists, art historians and researchers, who are interested in horse and the place of the horse in art, however we also welcome riders, who are not artists but are open for it. The short (1 or 2 weeks duration) intensive summer course include theory, lectures, talks and discussions, daily practice and lessons of horsemanship, horse archery and riding, as well as there is an opportunity to make studio based work. We plan to organize the program regularly with different research themes each year. It is our intention to offer the opportunities for artists with practices coming from both western and eastern traditions and to open up connections for artists, riders and researchers internationally with the possibility of developing professional collaborations. We would also like to explore points of connection between equine culture, art and sustainable development issues. [Photo: official website]

The artist residency program has been implemented at the Centre for Creative Activities in Ustka since 2013 as one of the activities of the Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art. It is addressed to Polish and foreign artists (with no age or country of origin restrictions, the only requirement is to speak and write English at a communicative level), representing various fields of art: ceramics, sculpture, drawing, photography, video art, web projects, performance, theater. We prefer realizations concerning art in public space and socially engaged art, commenting on current political and cultural phenomena or referring to the history of Ustka. We are focused on cooperation with the local community in the form of creative workshops and meetings. The final result of the residency program is an exhibition presenting the implemented project and an author’s meeting with the audience.
