Theme:
Artist-in-residence

In the coming time, Formkraft will examine why artist in-residence partnerships between organizations and makers/designers are not more common.

What challenges do practising makers and designers face once they have been approved for a residency? How is the partnership between the maker/designer and the host organization established? What do makers and designers think of the application process? And how do the approved projects benefit makers and designers, host organizations and the children and young people they work with?

Enjoy!

Editorial

By Anne Louise Bang and Helle Dyrlund Severinsen
Since the artist-in- residence programme was launched in 2006, visual artists in particular appear to have cracked the code for successful applications. Meanwhile, professional craft artists and designers remain poorly represented when it comes to project funding. Formkraft looks into potentials and challenges for craft artists and designers.
