Artist Residencies in the Netherlands

The residencies are meant for foreign artists, who want to live and work in Rotterdam for a minimum period of half a year, up to a maximum period of a year. In the Old - Charlois district the artists has the opportunity to cooperate with a vivid and young artist community, and with other artists in residences in Rotterdam.

As from September 2009 the Hommes Foundation offers two Artist in
Residences spaces in Rotterdam – Charlois. They are situated next to
the exhibition space Hommes (www.hommes.nl).

We ask the artist to work on a project during the residence which has
a relation with urban issues or is a continuation of a work which was
created during an earlier stay in Rotterdam.

Because the stairs to go up is not to wide, the studio’s are not
convenient for making big physical works like paintings or sculptures.
The studios are recently renovated and furnished. The measure is 60
and 63 m². Both have a own shower, toilet,kitchen with equipment,
bedroom, heating and internet connection. The rent is € 425 for the
first floor and € 450 for the second floor per the January 2011, which
includes all the costs for energy, heating, furnishing, insurance and
internet. If you will stay there with your partner the rent is € 25
higher.

The studio on the first floor is available per 1 May 2011 (and 1
November) and the one on the second might be available per 1 April
2011 (is not 100 % sure).

Artists who are interested in applying to the residency thereafter,
are invited to do so until the 1st of February 2011, by sending a CV,
motivation, and the project proposal to info@hommes.nl. The selection
process will take place in February 2011, you will hear the result in
the second half of February.
