Belgium | FLACC residency | open call

FLACC is a workplace for visual artists in Genk, Belgium. It creates the conceptual, organizational and technical conditions for realizing unique artist projects. Open call for 3 month residencies in 2014.

Every year, FLACC selects ten artists to set up a new project. In each annual selection, FLACC aims to strike a balance between national and international artists, between beginners and artists with experience, between autonomous art and/or research projects and artists that deal in more concrete terms with the historical, geographical or social context of the workplace.
