#SPARK your creativity, imagination and your career! We have partnered up with D’Clinic Studios to offer a summer residency program for pre-graduate, outsider or emerging visual artists to work for a month here in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary and create a project that is worth sharing. There are many residencies for already established artists, but we would like to welcome those individuals who have their big break still ahead of them. You can create artworks for your next exhibition in peace, start building your portfolio or just begin working on that big project you have been thinking about for months.

Fractal Workshop is a local independent initiative, established to create connections between contemporary art and the public, and to give opportunities to emerging artists. Although this is our first residency program, we organized it with the professional guidance of D’Clinic Studios, which since its foundation in 2012 has been welcoming artists from every continent in several different artistic disciplines. Writers, painters, sculptors, photographers even musicians and dancers have all benefited from the relaxed and encouraging atmosphere of their residencies.

The SPARK program is specially designed for pre-graduate and emerging visual artists to provide the assistance and space to create that first big project that you wanted to work on. During the residency we will provide the studio space, guidance, mentoring sessions with local artists and experts, help you find resources and provide assistance with the documentation of your practice. We will write blog posts, make photos and videos that you will be able to share. It might be just the thing to spice up your social media presence. While an exhibition is not required from you, we are happy to organize a showcase event if needed.

We also have plans to compile all the individual journeys of our resident artists will take into a book, that we want to publish after the residency periods end.


What we offer

  • accomodation and a common studio space for two
  • mentoring sessions and studio visits with local artists
  • we will help you find resources and experts to help with your project and translate materials if needed
  • assistance in documenting your project(s) during your residency
  • opportunites to meet the other resident artists at D’Clinic Studios in common events
  • optionally we will also organize a shocase exhibition for you near the end of your stay

  • help us to document your work during your stay (photos, blog entries, videos etc.)
