ArtNorth in partnership with Berlin Sessions Residency Program announces an open call for Swedish artists living and working in Norrbotten County.
Development and Networking Program for visual artists in Berlin was conceived in order to internationalize the artistic practice of professionals from Norrbotten County. The partnership with Berlin-based organizations has an aim to help to build a network of institutions and cultural actors supporting future exhibitions, exchanges, and collaborations. The invited artist will have an opportunity to present her/his projects to Berlin audiences and share the gained experience with Swedish public after the realization of a residency project.

The project arose from the first meeting between both teams during a conference “Residency Network Hub for cultural Intermediaries”, organized by Arts Promotion Centre Finland/Lapland in Berlin (4.2017). The meeting was focused on supporting and building new mobility programs for projects active in Barents Sea and Baltic Sea region.
