Artists’ Exchange

This project strand offered short residency opportunities in partner cities for 30 emerging artists as part of the legacy of this pan-European project.

Each city partner sent two emerging artists on a residency to another partner’s city, with the host city’s art form being different from their own artistic practice, thereby seeking to enrich their professional practice through these inter-disciplinary residencies. Artists were chosen on the basis of having demonstrated an interest in the hosting city’s contemporary European theme. The project offered the emerging artists the opportunity to travel without the pressure to produce work and ideally to experience UEO’s public events.

All artists’ personal statements and biographies can be found on the relevant city’s page by clicking on the artist’s photo.
