FAQ

Q: Is it possible to bring family members to the Residence?

A: Details are negotiated in each individual case. Please be sure to indicate this in your application. If it is impossible for an artist to live together with his family in a residence for organizational reasons, we can give recommendations for rental appartment in Vladivostok.

Q: Is it obligatory to hold an exhibition upon the residency completion?

A: The form of residency report is not limited to only exhibition project. Possible options are to be discussed at the site and may be subject to change as the case may be.

Q: Is it important to list the required materials for the project in your application?

A: If your project includes material design, it is advisable to consider what preparations and purchases the team can make for your arrival. Vladivostok is located far from the country's logistics centers, so many necessary materials and equipment are difficult to deliver in a short time
