About
Rüki Residency, nestled in the historic city of Viljandi, Estonia, offers a unique opportunity for artists across all disciplines to immerse themselves in a creative environment. The residency, housed in a building dating back to the second half of the 19th century and renovated in 2022/2023, began its operations in June 2023. It serves as a hub for artists, musicians, writers, and other creatives to produce and showcase their work. Rüki provides a private furnished apartment with an attached studio space, and the possibility to use the gallery space within the same building. The residency fosters collaborations with local institutions, offering a rich cultural exchange. Viljandi's serene atmosphere presents an ideal setting for artists to focus and draw inspiration away from urban distractions. Rüki Residency encourages residents to engage with the community through workshops, exhibitions, or other public events. This self-funded program requires artists to cover their own travel and living expenses, with residency fees varying based on duration and specific needs.
