Functioning as an open studio, the Open Days is a series of monthly events that will run throughout the year and are open to the public. This is an opportunity to meet and exchange with our fellows as well as learn more about their artistic research and practice through short talks, presentations, workshops or screenings that aim to shed light on their research trajectory and work in-progress. The format of the Open Days is shaped based on the needs and artistic practice of the fellows each time. Running between September 2022 to July 2023 the Tailor-made Fellοwships is an open-ended program offering time and space, tailored to the individual research needs of each participant.
