It is an Artists run residency program. Because the project is still young, it offers the artists in residency much freedom to create a format, which works for the individual, as well as the possibility to take part in the shaping of the DIFFERENT PROJECTS we are having in pipeline.

Resident artists have 24-hour access to the space, and we encourage the participants to work and be present on site as much as possible during the duration of the residency. When committing to this project, the artist must agree to stay the duration of the term (it is not possible to stay just a few weeks, etc.) Regardless, the participant is responsible for paying the entire participation fee.

We wish that the space be an open environment and welcome visitors to come by to visit during the working process.

What is the Environment and work Culture ?

Kalanirvana is a very vibrant and energetic Residency, where a lot of importance is given to new ideas and approaches. There is a participation fee to be paid by each artist . We also ask the artists to donate 1 – 2 small works (drawings, prints, photographs…) for our Collection . The Residency offers its walls, and doors to be painted by artists as a part of living gallery. You can do contribute your art if you want.

You can expect an intensive time of work and exchange in our cozy creative work space . The work culture is very vibrant and interactive. You can explore your idea and concepts and discuss with fellow artists or curators and you can also interact with local people and know more about Indian culture and people.You can learn cooking from Indian host or may be by fellow artists.
