Kaunas invites four artists from the CreArt 3.0 Network to work for six weeks in Kaunas AiR in the period of 4 May – 14 June 2026.
Kaunas partners, PI Artkomas, have a large experience of organising visual arts projects, and short-term residencies in their city as well as other cities and towns of Lithuania. They have a focus on painting, with experts of other visual arts’ fields (like Lithuanian Artists Association, Kaunas Vytautas Magnus University New Media Studies Department, etc.). Therefore, the residency can offer necessary conditions for creation to painters, photographers, and new media artists, who would like to participate in this part of CreArt 3.0 project.
Kaunas will make a final public presentation of the artworks created during the residency (a group exhibition of the four artists). The exhibition will be displayed in Kaunas, in co-operation with the Lithuanian Artists Association gallery Drobė.
The artist applying for the residency must have been born or living in one of the cities of the CreArt 3.0 network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Latvia), Skopje (Northern Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand (France), Rouen (France), Ceske Budejovice (Czech Republic), Lublin (Poland), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany), members of HDLU (Croatian Association of Visual Artists), Ukrainian artists through collaboration with Dialog from Lviv.
The organisation will reimburse artists’ travel expenses to Kaunas (up to 400 EUR). Studio and accommodation are free and the artists will receive a grant of 900 EUR plus 300 EUR for materials.
