Residencies
Artist production residencies are the heart of the curatorial program at EMPAC. Much of the work that we commission and present is developed through residencies in collaboration with our curatorial and production staff. Artists benefit from unparalleled access to state-of-the-art technological infrastructure for the making of their work, including support from EMPAC’s expert team of video, audio, stage and production engineers and technicians. Residencies are often planned years in advance to afford time for extended engagement between artists and our staff. The number of residencies, their structure and length is tailored to each individual artist and project.
Flemish Department of Culture Open Call Program
Our partnership with the Flemish Government’s Department of Culture, Youth and Media to provides residency support for artists. Our curators work with the Flemish Department of Culture's staff to select projects from yearly open calls. The program ends in 2023.
