Installation Residencies in Bulgaria

ARV.I

Vishovgrad, Bulgaria

The ARV.I artist residency program in Vishovgrad, Bulgaria, offers a stimulating and flexible environment for international contemporary artists to create new works and expand their exhibition experience. Located in a rural village, the residency allows artists to immerse themselves in local culture and the beautiful landscape of Veliko Turnovo. Each month, up to three artists are accepted and provided with accommodation, shared studio space, and a solo exhibition at Heerz Tooya Gallery. The program encourages artists to apply for external funding to cover the residency fee and other expenses. Participants enjoy a supportive atmosphere with curatorial assistance and local guidance. The residency emphasizes self-directed work and an open mindset, ideal for those who can adapt to rural life. Artists must bring their own tools and materials, as the program does not cover production costs. The application process is open on a rolling basis, allowing flexibility for interested artists.
