Artist Residencies in Central and South-Eastern Europe<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe Solitude Exchange Network (SEN) is an international artist-in-residence exchange program between Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany, and partner organizations in Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Serbia. <\/span>\r\n\r\nThe aim of the Solitude Exchange Network is to foster transnational connections and cultural exchange between the respective local art scenes. Through residency exchanges, artists are given the opportunity to live and work abroad for three months and engage with a different cultural context.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe participating organizations are:<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2022 Akademie Schloss Solitude (Germany)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 ARC Bucharest (Romania)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 art quarter budapest (Hungary)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 Atelietata in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Bulgaria (Bulgaria)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle (Poland)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 POGON (Croatia)<\/span>\r\n\u2022 STATION Service for Contemporary Dance (Serbia)<\/span>\r\n\r\nEach year, every partner organization sends one artist based in its country for a three-month residency at Akademie Schloss Solitude. In return, the Akademie selects six artists from its community of current and recent fellows to take part in residencies at the six partner organizations. The residency exchanges are jointly funded by Akademie Schloss Solitude and the respective partners. Fellows typically receive accommodation, a monthly grant, travel support, and project funding.<\/span>\r\n\r\nApplications or nominations for a SEN fellowship at Akademie Schloss Solitude are made through the partner organizations. Calls for SEN fellowships at one of the partner organizations are issued exclusively within the network of current and recent Solitude Fellows.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe origins of the Solitude Exchange Network date back to 1990, when artists from the former GDR were awarded travel grants to join the Akademie\u2019s international community. A pivotal partnership with CCA Ujazdowski Castle in 2003 marked the start of a structured exchange program, which later expanded to several countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Since then, Akademie Schloss Solitude has continually worked to strengthen regional cultural exchange.<\/span>\r\n\r\nIn 2025, with support from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the network facilitates additional bilateral exchanges between CCA Ujazdowski Castle (Warsaw), ARC Bucharest, and STATION Service for Contemporary Dance (Belgrade).<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n

Selection Procedure<\/h4>\r\nThe selection process is coordinated bilaterally with the respective partner institutions. Fellows are chosen by an independent jury.<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n
