Application Process

Residencies are awarded on a rolling basis. Residents are responsible for their own travel, meals, and transportation. The duration of residencies varies from seven (minimum) to fourteen days. If you're interested, please submit a complete application via email to info@irisprojectresidency.org. There are no publication, exhibition, or performance requirements for those awarded a residency. For updates, please subscribe to our mailing list or follow us on Instagram at @irisprojectresidency. If you have any questions, feel free to email info@irisprojectresidency.org.

Accommodation
The residency includes a studio apartment with a kitchenette. Although it is located on the ground level, please note that it may not be fully wheelchair accessible. For convenience, linens and essential kitchen equipment are provided. Since the residency is in a residential area, we ask that residents consider our neighbors. Approval for partners, children, and pets is evaluated individually.
