Open call to the 2024 WIELS residency programme for Estonian artists

Estonian Centre for Contemporary Art and WIELS Contemporary Art Centre have announced an open call for one Estonian artist to apply to a residency programme at the WIELS Residency Programme.

Two Estonian artists have a possibility to participate in the WIELS Residency Programme on the first half of 2024, during six months. The residency costs and apartment rent will be covered and a monthly scholarship of 1600 euros will be paid to the artists. All Estonian artists (artists based in Estonia and/or from Estonia) are welcome to apply.

The residency provides working spaces in a suitable environment for artists who seek autonomy, feedback and/or interaction with peers, and the interdisciplinary art scene that Brussels in particular offers, engaging in current artistic and theoretical debates through weekly discussions with the mentors, visits, presentations and public interactions with audiences. The WIELS residency thus helps artists to develop their work and their professional practice. Read more about the programme here.
