The Nordic Alliance of Artists’ Residencies on Climate Action’s (NAARCA) call for applications is now live.
Closing date: 8 Dec 2025
Two funded residency exchanges will take place between March 2026 and November 2026. The NAARCA resident(s) will receive a fee, materials/equipment allowance, and a travel stipend.
This programme builds upon the research, commissions, and institutional projects NAARCA has launched since 2021 which focus upon the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis, climate justice and the four pillars of sustainability – ecological, social, psychological and cultural.
This residency supports research, the development of existing and new projects, engagement with local communities, and the production of new work and ideas in relation to the NAARCA partners’ unique ecological contexts.
Hosting a NAARCA resident in 2026 are Cove Park (Scotland), Saari Residence (Finland), and Skaftfell Arts Center (Iceland). More details about each host institution are listed in the Application Guidelines along with their available dates and details about what they offer.
Applications are welcome from artists based in Denmark, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Scotland, and Sweden working in visual arts, craft, or design and whose practice intersects with themes surrounding sustainability and the climate emergency.
