Multidisciplinary Residencies in Geneva

Embassy of Foreign Artists (EOFA)

Geneva, Switzerland

The Embassy of Foreign Artists (EOFA) is an international residency program based in Geneva, Switzerland. Established in 2012, the organization provides logistical and financial support to artists, researchers, and cultural actors from around the world. It offers a collaborative environment where artists can work on their projects, from initial development to final presentation, with a focus on fostering intercultural exchange. The program is open to various artistic fields, including visual arts, music, literature, and more. EOFA leverages its extensive network to facilitate the promotion and dissemination of residents’ work, often collaborating with local institutions to support projects long-term. The residency aims to bridge scientific and artistic practices, making it an ideal space for creative exploration. Geneva’s neutral stance and historical significance as a hub for intellectual and political dialogue make it a vibrant location for the intersection of art, science, and culture.

Federal office for Education and Science

Geneva, Switzerland

No artist residency program is operated by the 'Federal Office for Education and Science' (likely referring to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation, SERI) at CH-3003 Bern, Switzerland, based on available information. Residency.ch, a non-profit providing work and living spaces for international artists, is located at PROGR Art Center in Bern, potentially supported by Swiss federal cultural funding bodies like Pro Helvetia. Pro Helvetia funds various artist residencies in Switzerland, offering up to three months of support including accommodation, per diems, and workspaces, but not directly through SERI.
