Hollufgård Artist Residence – Skulpturpark will be conducting a residency program in April-June 2020 for two visual artists exploring the concept of sculpture. The residency program is carried out in collaboration with the Funen Academy of Art and is supported by The Danish Arts Foundation.

Applicants with an international career and teaching/lecturing experience will be given priority. The resident is expected to document the project with an exhibition and an artist talk as well as a lecture or workshop at the Funen Academy of Art on the subject of sculptural concepts. The completed project may be included in the sculpture park at Hollufgård.

The program includes:

Free travel and free acommodation / workshop plus a monthly scholarship of DKK 5000. Grants for material expenses and coverage of expenses for activities related to the program. Support for the artist’s professional development and the artist’s work process during the stay. Contacts can be established to relevant networks within Danish contemporary art.

Hollufgård is financed by the municipality of Odense, the Cultural Region of Funen and private foundations and it offers some of the country’s most well-equipped facilities with bronze foundry, forge, mixed media workshop workshop, carving area, painter’s studios and graphic workshop.

Adjacent to the residence is Skulpturparken, a large exhibition area situated around an old manor. House dating from the Renaissance and consisting of a manor park and a forest area of outstanding diversity. Each year we invite Danish and foreign guest artists to create new, site-specific works for the area.
