Artis is delighted to welcome the 14 artists selected to participate in international residencies through our inaugural Residency Partnership Initiative. Organized in collaboration with six residencies worldwide, the Residency Partnership Initiative offers fully funded residencies to emerging, mid-career, and established visual artists from Israel. Artists in residence were selected through a competitive open call and review process, and were identified for their commitment to their practice and dialogic engagement with timely questions. Their practices explore complex political histories and experiences of migration and diaspora, climate, conflict, mythology, technologies, and the impacts of capitalism, among other critical and universal themes. Congratulations to the inaugural artists in residence, and a special thank you to our partner residencies!

Artis is pleased to launch a new initiative that deepens our work with residencies worldwide and bolsters professional networks for artists. In this challenging time, we are committed to creating artist-centered opportunities for dialogue and exchange, and to opening up possibilities for conversations in shared spaces. Artis’ Residency Partnership Initiative is a two year program that expands partnerships with residency institutions worldwide to forge fully funded residency opportunities for contemporary artists from Israel. Emerging, mid-career, and established visual artists from Israel, who may be living anywhere in the world, are invited to submit a Letter of Interest (LOI) to participate in a residency at one of Artis’ partner institutions in 2024 or 2025. The deadline for artists to apply is February 25, 2024. Residency lengths vary, ranging from 3 weeks to 6 months. The average residency length is 2 months.
