PADA Studios Research Residency 2026

Our Research Residency is designed to appeal to those who want to spend time with the community at PADA but don’t need a studio space. Candidates are welcome to apply for periods of 1 or 2 months. The provisional residency periods are as following:

+ 1: 7th April - 2nd June (coinciding with PADA 57)
+ 2: 7th April - 4th May (first month of PADA 57)
+ 3: 6th May - 2nd June (second month of PADA 57)
+ 4: 9th June - 6th July (first month of PADA 58)
+ 5: 4th November - 30th November (second month of PADA 60)

There will be a preference for applications that fully align with the International Residency (i.e. we may prioritise an applicant that chooses April - June rather those that choose April or May alone).

Applications are done via an Open Call. The current application is for residencies in Autumn/Winter 2025/26. The cost is €550 for 1 month or €1000 for 2 months. PADA is not-for-profit association and currently receives very limited financial support. We encourage selected artists to apply for personal funding to cover all costs involved.

Applications are done via an Open Call. The current application is for residencies in 2026. 
Application deadline is the 8th December 2024 and artists will be notified by the 15th December 2024.
