Malt AIR is a visual arts residency programme in Denmark that invites professional artists from all over the world to participate in a 3-month visual arts residency programme at Maltfabrikken in Ebeltoft.
The residency programme aims to support the development of the resident’s artistic practice and to foster exchanges between the residing artist and the Danish contemporary visual arts scene. The selected artist will be given the opportunity to participate in networking activities, studio visits, meetings with relevant professional individuals and institutions, as well as to receive curatorial and peer feedback. Malt AIR wishes to support the artistic process and research phase by giving the artist time, space and opportunity for reflection and focus. Studio facilities and accommodation, as well as a travel grant and a monthly stipend, are included in the programme. It is the responsibility of the artist to make use of the given opportunities.
The organisers will provide a monthly stipend of €1000 / 7.500 DKK to cover living expenses, local transport and cost of materials and production as well as a peer programme as the resident will be matched with a member of a peer group and will receive individual professional feedback twice during the stay. The current peers can be found here.
Professional artists from abroad (non-Danish artists) who can document exhibition experience within significant professional contexts as well as former collaborations with curators on a professional level are welcome to apply until 1 May. Applicants are welcome to choose between two different residency periods: 28 November 2022 – 25 February 2023 or 13 March 2023 – 10 June 2023. More informatiom about the Open Call can be found here.
The residency is run in collaboration between Danish Art Workshops, Kunsthal Aarhus and Maltfabrikken, and is supported by Danish Arts Foundation.
