I have been to this space in Latvia more than seven times. They cannot provide funding for travel and can only pay a small stipend to cover your food expenses. However, the silence, the simplicity, the camaraderie of the other artists, are extremely conducive to your work. The staff there will bend over backwards to help you. I have worked on three books in this space.
