About Opportunity

The internationally recognized, UK-based Delfina Foundation is accepting applications for its 2025 Residency Program, inviting contemporary visual artists from Central Asian countries — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan — to develop their practice through research. The residency will take place during Delfina Foundation’s spring season, from March 31 to June 22, 2025. Participating artists will have the opportunity to work on their projects and visit museums, galleries, non-profits, artist-run spaces, and studios. The Foundation's selection committee will choose the most qualified candidates for the residency and provide them with accommodation, a working art studio, and a daily allowance.
