Arts practitioners can apply for studio, research residencies in Switzerland

Pro Helvetia Cape Town, the Swiss Arts Council, is inviting applications from Southern African arts practitioners - including curators, event organisers, and mediators from all disciplines - for studio and research residencies in Switzerland in 2012/13.

Studio residencies are up to three months long and give practitioners the chance to gain a broad insight into a different cultural environment. During this time, they can find inspiration, establish networks and make their work known in a new context, without being under any professional obligations. Research residencies, generally four weeks in duration, enable practitioners to carry out research in Switzerland.

In both instances, Pro Helvetia will provide a specialist in the field to support the artist in residence and also covers the costs of travel, insurance, accommodation and per diem expenses.
