The Council of Bergen, the second largest city in Norway, and Stiftelsen Kulturhuset USF are offering residencies to professional, foreign artists, writers, directors, dancers, musicians, stage performers and composers. The residencies for fine and craft artists are open only to non-Nordic citizens. The remaining residencies are open also to citizens of one of the Nordic countries, excluding Norway. The residencies will take place at USF Verftet, formerly Norway’s largest sardine factory, which has been converted into a multifaceted cultural centre. The Artist in Residence programme is intended to increase contact between Norwegian artists and artists from other countries. Each three month residency consists of a rent free studio at USF Verftet, and additional accommodation. Living costs, travel, materials, insurance and transport costs must be covered by the artist. Deadlines for the Artist in Residence programme are 1st January and 1st May of each year.
