For dance artists, the residency will be offered in collaboration with DansiT (www.dansit.no).

We have workshops for wood, metal, print-making and analogue photography. As a guest artist, you have access to an apartment and shared workshops at LKV. You will also have the possibility to book working periods in one of our two project rooms (subject to availability and a small fee).
The staff at LKV is available to help make your stay as productive as possible. Please specify in your application what your needs are, for example if you need us to put you in touch with a local collaboration partner. You are also welcome to apply for the residency if you already are in a collaboration or production with an institution or organization in Trondheim.
We also offer the possibility to have a presentation of your work at our art space Babel/ bookstore Babel Bok (www.babelkunst.no). We can arrange an exhibition, concert, literary event, etc. If interested in having an event at Babel please write a project description and attach this to your application. The project leader for Babel will communicate further information and decisions regarding this.

What does the residency demand of the visiting artist
LKV will cover expenses for studio and accommodation. All other expenses, such as living costs, travel, materials, insurance and transport must be covered by the artists themselves. We encourage all artists to apply for funding in their own home country.
We are especially encourage you to apply if you are an artist interested in engaging in the local community, either socially or through professional collaboration.
As we are running the residency on limited administrative resources and selected artists must be prepared to be self-reliant at times. We will do our best to facilitate contacts, network and local collaborative partners so that artists can achieve what they have set out to do for their stay. Trondheim is a small and friendly city and it is easy to get in touch with the local artistic community.
