ARD: Artist’s Residence Dalen

 

ARD is an exclusive Artist-in-Residence space in the rural town of Dalen, Drenthe, the Netherlands. ARD offers a temporary living and work space to artists from the Netherlands or abroad working in various disciplines of contemporary art. The space is especially suitable for artists working on or interested in land art projects in the area, or artists wishing to spend some time in seclusion to focus on a special project.

 

The artist residency program will be developed in 2012 by Land Art Contemporary, a new intitiative in Drenthe with a varied international multiyear programme dealing with (the contemporary aspects of) land art.

See also www.landartcontemporary.nl for more information.

 

In the meantime, ARD is for rent to selected artists only, in return for a monthly rental fee and the contribution of a work of choice to the ARD collection (eg a photograph, drawing, design or site specific work made during the stay). The duration of the stay is flexible and depending on the proposed project but preferably between 2 to 3 months.

 

The artist should be able to work independently but ARD can refer the artist to cultural and social networks in the area where needed. Applications with a description of the proposed project, motivation, resume and images of earlier works by email only to info@artistresidencedalen.nl.
