Funded with support from the European Commission | Education and Culture DG, The RE-TOOLING RESIDENCIES project is addressed to both arts communities and art institutions looking to create arts residency centres in Eastern Europe and to cooperate with existing centres of this kind.
The project aims to foster cooperation and mutual support between arts institutions from the East and West of the EU as regards arts residency programs. This will be achieved through exchanges of experience, knowledge sharing, and support of the professional development of cultural cadres.
The present article fosters reflection to re-think at the role of Artist-in-Residencies with the urgencies of the present time.
