The guest studio at Troms fylkeskultursenter

The guest studio programs are part of Troms County Municipality’s strategy for increasing and supporting  the international cooperation and exchange programs for artists and institutions in our region.

Guidelines

  • The guest studio is offered to professional visual artists and crafts artists who wish to stay and work in Tromsø for a limited period of time
  • Visual artists, crafts artists, curators and art critics from North-Norway, The Arctic region and Sápmi are eligible to apply for residency at the guest studio, but other professionals from the art field can also apply (e.g. art writers, producers, etc.)
  • The residency is free of charge, and includes an apartment at Mellomvegen 34 B, guest studio and the access to workshops at Troms fylkeskultursenter (printing, ceramics, dark room, textile dye-room)
  • Visual artists, crafts artists, curators and art critics can apply for residencies for a minimum of 2 weeks, and a maximum of 2 months. Please note we do not offer short term residencies.
  • Criteria: Applicants who collaborate with professional artists at Troms fylkeskultursenter, local visual art scene can be given a priority; there will also be placed emphasis on applicant’s project description and the project’s relevance for the local society.
  • Groups of maximum 2 people can apply for residency, if they can share the living and working space. 
  • The guest studio cannot be used in connection with private visits to Tromsø, or as a free of charge accommodation.
  • Troms County Municipality also runs our own artist-in-residence and network programs, and facilitates artist exchange in the region. Artists associated with these programs will be given priority.
  • A residency contract must be signed with the owner of the guest studio (Troms County Municipality). The guest studio cannot be sublet or used by others than the artist(s) who have signed the contract.
