The program is designed to bring culture and education into small places like Gardinovci, and we are looking for artists from different disciplines — visual arts, music, film, photography, literature, design, and more — who are open to teaching, leading workshops, or creating learning experiences for children and adults in the village.

Your contribution can take many forms:

• short intensive workshops (1–4 weeks),
• regular classes (once every week or two, for several months),
• one-time lectures,
• cultural or educational courses in any creative discipline.

What we provide in exchange:

• free accommodation in the residency,
• full support, including meals,
• local transportation if needed,
• a chance to become part of the local community and exchange knowledge in a meaningful way.

The residency is open to those who need time, silence, and supportive surroundings to focus on their projects — whether it is writing a book, developing a film, editing, composing music, painting, or working on photography or any other artistic work.

Residency stays can last from several weeks to one month (or longer upon request). Applications are reviewed twice a year — in winter and summer.

What we provide:

• accommodation in the residency,
• a peaceful and supportive environment,
• access to basic technical equipment (if available),
• possibility of connection with the local community (optional).
