A residency can involve:
- working in a dark room
- joint rehearsals
- a writing process
- creating visual art
- composing music
- research work
- developing a concept
You cannot apply for a residency if:
- the project is already complete
- you live outside the the Nordic Region.
Who is eligible to apply?
Artists and curators in all art fields can apply for a residency, including musicians, writers, cultural producers, researchers, and artisans living in the Nordic Region. Groups can apply for joint residencies at B28, with each group member filling out their own residency application. A joint statement of collaboration must be attached to each group member’s application.
The autumn 2025 application round focuses on cultural practice in the West Nordic region. A special note for photographers and film artists: Residency B28 features newly renovated darkrooms.
How are applications for a residency assessed?
Applications for residencies are assessed based on feasibility, artistic content, and Nordic reach. Applications are reviewed internally by Nordic Culture Point. Decisions are made based on expert evaluation and awarded by the director.
Nordic dimension
Applications are also assessed in terms of their Nordic added value. We encourage co-operation between Nordic regions. In addition to the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden), Nordic regions include Åland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
