PROPOSE AN INTERNATIONAL ARTIST FOR A RESIDENCY IN GOTHENBURG 2019
Two international artists are invited to Gothenburg each year for a three month residency through IASPIS, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee`s International Programme for Visual and Applied Artists. ( www.iaspis.se). The aim of the residency is to promote and provide support for exchange between international artists and local Gothenburg artists, institutions and other art initiatives. Iaspis collaborates with a local group in Gothenburg. Twice a year the Iaspis-group in Gothenburg collects and processes local proposals which they present to a decision making board at The Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
The Iaspis-group in Gothenburg now welcomes proposals for international visual artists to be invited for a residency scheduled between August – October 2019! The selected artist will have access to a guest studio at Konstepidemin, which also serves as living quarters. The artist will receive a stipend of 15 000 SEK/month, and Iaspis will also cover the travel expenses to and from Gothenburg. The stipend is not remuneration for work but a tax free stipend given for artistic excellence.
Proposals can be made by Gothenburg-based artists, institutions and other art initiatives. Please note that international artists cannot propose themselves to be invited to the residency. Konstepidemin’s residency programme and the local Iaspis-group will do their best to support the visiting artist to have a valuable exchange with the city and the local art scene.
Proposals for artists regarding the upcoming residency period should be sent by mail to iaspisgbg@galleribox.se on September 16th, latest.
The proposal should include:
The proposal should include:
– Complete Name, address and contact for both the proposed artist, as well as for the contact person submitting the proposal.

– Short description of any potential planned activities (workshops, shows, etc.) or projects that the artist might engage in whilst in Gothenburg.
– Proposed artists, curators, etc. that the visiting artist might meet during the residency period.
– Please note that the proposed artist must have been contacted and been familiarized with the circumstances for the residency before the proposal is submitted.
The invited artist should be an artist that could be expected to engage in a rewarding exchange with the regional art scene and that might provide valuable experiences for our relationship with the outside world.

Within the framework of the International Artists Studio Program In Sweden 2 artists are each year offered a 3-month residency in Göteborg in one of the live/work studios at Konstepidemin. To apply the artists must be recommended by a local host, there is no way of applying individually. We accept applications twice a year, spring and fall. Dates will be published here.
The IASPIS- group Gbg jointly makes the decision and suggests two artists to invite, the final decision is then made by Konstnärsnämnden in Stockholm, that finances the costs for travel and stipend.
The residency is for 3-months. The artist receives a stipend of 15 000 kr/month for living expenses and will be given access to a live/work studio at Konstepidemins. The residency program at Konstepidemins and the Iaspis-group will support the artist in order for the residency to be as fruitful as possible.
