Projects

7 residency centers belonging to the LOORE network will host Ukrainian artists from March to the end of October. The seven-week residencies in various creative environments offer Ukrainian artists a supportive working environment and valuable networking opportunities. Selected artists will receive a scholarship, accommodation and transportation costs will be covered.

 

Similar to the previous LOORE network residency offers for Ukrainian artists in previous years, the competition was very tight this time too.  We received over 180 applications in response to the Open Call HERE.  The residencies made their selection among the submitted applications.

​

The project is funded by the Estonian Ministry of Culture.
