Brussels

OCA offers a 6-months artist’s residency programme at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels, Belgium from 1 January until 30 June. Annual application deadline 3 May. Applications are accepted from Norwegian artists and international artists residing in Norway. The programme is designed for artists who have already elaborated a specific and promising aesthetic language but seek artistic, theoretical and professional support in order to develop their practice.

The programme includes an individual working studio at the residency premises, an apartment in walking distance from the residency, weekly tutorials with professional artists Sylvie Eyberg and Simon Thompson, one field trip in Belgium or abroad and one solo or group presentation at the end of the residency, not necessarily at WIELS’ premises. The project will be presented on WIELS’ website. OCA provides a travel grant of 4 000 NOK and a living grant of 120.000 NOK.
