International residencies, like UK based residencies, can provide a stimulating and contemplative environment in which to pursue your practice unhindered by everyday work. Some will provide accomodation or funding, others might be willing to help in an application for this, but the majority will be unable to provide much support outside the facilities of the residency.
Check the menu on the left for the type of residency you are looking to apply for.
For a huge range of residencies and workshops internationally for artists, check out the TransArtists website. Universes in Universe is a huge site, covering virtually every aspect of art and culture internationally. They report on all international art biennales, provide listings of artists, cultural institutions and galleries worldwide, and information on residencies and funding relevant to artists working internationally. Both are indispensible.
