2025 Artists in Residency Program opened by Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art

The internationally recognized Centre for Creative Activities in Ustka, established by the Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art, is accepting applications for its 2025 Artist-in-Residence Program. Open to both Polish and international artists, the program welcomes a diverse range of artistic disciplines—including ceramics, sculpture, drawing, photography, video art, web-based projects, performance, and theater. Special consideration is given to projects that engage with public space or explore socially relevant themes, such as contemporary political and cultural issues or the historical context of Ustka. The two-month residency concludes with a public exhibition presenting the completed work.

The Baltic Gallery of Contemporary Art is the only institution in the Słupsk region dedicated to promoting contemporary art. Within its facilities, the Gallery offers a variety of programs aimed at fostering appreciation for modern artistic practices. It organizes around 36 exhibitions annually, featuring leading artists from both Poland and abroad. In addition to exhibitions, the Gallery hosts popular events such as lectures on the latest developments in contemporary art, as well as hands-on workshops and educational sessions. Since 2013, it has also run an artist residency program at the Centre for Creative Activities in Ustka, further expanding its commitment to artistic development and exchange.
