K.A.I.R. – Košice Artist in Residence
Open call for international artists to come to Košice in 2013
Host organisation
Košice 2013 – European Capital of Culture
Košice
During the last centuries, the whole region of East Slovakia, nowadays
located at the edge of Schengen border, has been influenced by many
different kingdoms, countries and cultural groups. Still you can feel
this multicultural spirit in the city, also because of the huge
Hungarian and Roma minorities. During the socialistic time, Košice
became a centre of steel industry, the population tripled within 3o
years and the city expanded immensely. During the last years Košice
has started a transformation process of turning post-industrial city
into a creative one aiming to become an important cultural hub between
East and West in social, political and artistic terms.

Artist in Residence
In the frame of European Capital of Culture the NGO Košice 2013 is
running an international Artist-in-Residence program for emerging
artists from all over the world and out of all artistic disciplines
and expressions.
We pursuit three main goals within the residency program:
Support the creative energy of every invited artist and give her/him
the chance to work in a new environment and to find (new) artistic
ways of expression
Stimulate the art scene in Košice, in the region and in whole
Slovakia. Support the dialogue as well as the confrontation of the
residency artists with local artists and the wide public.
Create/strengthen a beneficial environment for the development of
innovative and international contemporary art projects with
international and local participants.
According to these goals, our team introduces every artist to the
social environment of the city and the region and help them to build
up networks and collaborations with local artists. We organise public
events like exhibitions, artist talks, projections, workshops, open
studios to give all artists the chance to introduce and present
themselves to a wide public.
