Järjestön kuvaus

International artist-in-residence program K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence was implemented in 2011 as one of the key projects within the frame of “European Capital of Culture” by the NGO “Kosice 2013”. In 2016, KAIR became an independent association with the main focus on international art projects. The residency program is for artists from all over the world and out of all artistic disciplines and expressions. KAIR gives them the possibility to work in the inspiring environment of Košice’s singular cultural surrounding to realize art projects, collaborate with the agile local art scene and present themselves to the local and national public. The projects are organized in cooperation with international partners. Until now, KAIR has sent and invited artist from different countries like e.g. Poland, Germany, Georgia, Ukraine or Japan. The aim of the residency program is to encourage exchange and support the dialogue between artists from different countries and art scenes. In Kosice, the organization provides to the residency artists accommodation, studios, financial and production support.
