For three to six months, artists are offered the opportunity to work in their own studio, meet colleagues from Sweden and all over the world and take part in the entire IASPIS activities. The Artist in Residence has access to a studio in the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s premises as well as a grant to cover the costs of subsistence, accommodation and other expenses.

Swedish-based artists are responsible for arranging accommodation during their residency, international artists are offered accommodation. All artists in residence have the opportunity to take part in various IASPIS activities during the residency period. We arrange talks, meetings, study visits, travels, studio visits by visiting international curators and public events in various forms. The purpose of all these activities is to promote opportunities for artistic development, international outlook and exchange.

Artists based in Sweden are eligible to apply for a residency at IASPIS Stockholm on an annual basis. All professional artists in the field of visual and applied arts, whose artistic practice is primarily based in Sweden, are welcome to submit applications.
