Residency Program
- Our program hosts 12 artists for one-month residencies.
- We support the participants by covering accommodation and material costs, allowing them to focus entirely on their work.
- Each residency revolves around a specific theme, encouraging artists to engage with pressing social, political, or cultural issues.
- DOM takes a unique nomadic approach, changing locations regularly. This absence of attachment to one place reflects many people’s state in the contemporary socio-political environment. Such a model allows us to meet new viewers and investigate new contexts. It matters to us to extend the invitation to the residency to local artists.
- As part of residency we organize an intense educational program where we invite international art professionals to give lectures, conduct workshops and hold round tables for artists and the public.
- During the residency we organize two group exhibitions that are open to the public: one to present the artists with their existing works and the other one to showcase the results of their creative month-long journey.
Open Call 2026
DOM Art Residence is launching an international open call for artists across all disciplines — painting, sculpture, video, photography, installation, performance, digital art, and cross-disciplinary practices.
We are selecting 12 artists from over the world to take part in Personal Structures 2026, a biennial art exhibition organised by the European Cultural Centre (ECC). The exhibition takes place in the historic palazzi of Venice, coinciding with the Venice Biennale (9 May – 22 November 2026).
