The artists residence

Artists wanting to join the Residency programme can apply throughout the year.

For Brussels-based artists, the Foundation offers an external residency with access to the Residence studio during the Villa Empain’s opening hours.

The Foundation covers travel expenses for artists from abroad.

The length of the stay is from two to three months depending on the project and the availability of the facilities.

The residency building consists of a common area (living room, kitchen, bathrooms) and three individual bedrooms. The studio, available 24/7, is also shared between the artists in Residence.

Project proposal

A 400-words proposal explaining what you intend to accomplish during your residency at the Boghossian Foundation. For example, this can be a series of works or methods to be explored during your time here. We are interested to know how a residency at the Foundation will benefit your practice. We are also aware that projects change and evolve.

RESUME

A resume that details your artistic career: education, exhibitions, residencies, awards, etc. Résumés serve to contextualize the work: an artist’s career point, publication, or exhibition history is not a determining factor in the attribution of this residency.

Statement

A 500-words statement directly related to the work sample submitted. Explain your clear artistic vision as it is exemplified in your work samples.

Visual materials

10 images or 3 videos labelled according to your list of works.

List of works

Stating title, material, dimensions and date.
