Artist residency in Norway: applications now open

As part of Millenium, Fossekleiva Cultural Centre, in partnership with RN13BIS, is offering a research and creative residency in Berger, Norway. Applications are open until 16 December 2026.

From 3 May to 13 June 2027, an artist with a connection to Normandy will undertake a six-week residency to explore the relationships between contemporary artistic practice, textile heritage and landscapes.

A residency connecting with Norway’s art scene

The stay will include meetings with contemporary art and textile professionals in Norway, supporting the artist’s international development.

At the end of the residency, the artist’s work will be presented at Fossekleiva Cultural Centre as part of a Millenium-labelled group exhibition of textile art, exploring nature and landscape, which is scheduled to open on 12 June 2027.

Who can apply?

The call is open to professional visual artists, particularly those whose practice involves textiles, who:

  • Live and work in Normandy, or have graduated from a higher art education institution in the region;
  • Have a SIRET business registration number and an APE activity code corresponding to their artistic practice;
  • Have a good command of spoken and written English.

The artist will be provided with accommodation and workspace. A gross fee of €2,000, inclusive of VAT, is provided for the six weeks, along with return travel costs between Normandy and Norway. A separate fee will also be paid for the display of the artist’s work in the group exhibition.

How to apply?

Applications must include an up-to-date CV, a portfolio in PDF format (maximum 10 MB) and a one- to two-page statement of intent in English.
