We encourage applications from Scandinavian and International contemporary artists working in a wide range of disciplines including visual art, film, arts writing, performance, sound and curating. We are open for applications for all phases - from initial research to finishing works.

Our intention is to create and facilitate temporary collectives for emerging artists to work and live together. We offer residencies of 90 days accomodating 6 artists at a time.

The program is self-organised and as a young non-profit organisation unfortunately we're currently unable to provide financial assistance for the artists in residents.

The residency fee is 250.000 ISK (approximately 2000 Euro). The residency fee covers accommodation and studio shared spaces. The 6 artists will have individual bedrooms and share the living and studio spaces. The residency fee is to be paid in advance and is non-refundable. Residents must provide for their own food, travel, and miscellaneous expenses.

Residents will be selected based on the quality of their work, commitment to their practice, and ability to interact positively with the community at large.

Upcoming deadlines: 

Applications for the Heima 2020 residency programs will open fall 2019. Suscribe to our newsletter to be notified when the application opens.  

We suggest that you read through our "FAQ" before applying.
