.ekwc offers different types of residencies: individual residency, residency for young applicants, residency related to external project, residency for former participants, combined residency, part of project 'ceramics and architecture'
1. Individual residency: Professional artists, designers and architects with an academic education and who have worked as independent professionals for at least two years.
An individual residency is intended for professional artists, designers and architects who would like to learn more about ceramics as a medium or who would like to acquire more in-depth knowledge of ceramics. The individual residency at the .ekwc offers a supreme opportunity for those who want to undertake experiments with or take up the challenge of ceramics. Not only can they spend three months making use of all the facilities at the .ekwc that support the process of working with ceramics, but a technical staff is also available to provide guidance during the residency. An international selection committee will assess the applications that come in through the annual public application round. The selection will be based on documentation of the last five years' work and an activity plan / motivation. Go to: http://www.ekwc.nl/index.cfm?chapter_id=24
for more information.
Upcoming deadline for applications: 15 April 2009

2. Residency for young participants
Deadline April 15, 2009
For candidates who graduated less than two years ago from an academy of art and/or design and are under the age of thirty.
During this residency young professionals can learn about ceramics as a medium or increase the knowledge they already have. A three-month residency at the .ekwc often provides a good impulse for building up a professional career. The .ekwc provides young participants with a grant and a budget for materials. An internal selection committee assesses the applications, based on documentation of the last few years' work (including the final project), an activity plan / motivation and references from teachers and/or supervisors.
There are other types of residencies available at ekwc so go to their website and see if there is one that is perfect for you. http://www.ekwc.nl/index.cfm?chapter_id=24
