Announcing the HIAP 2018 residencies

HIAP – Helsinki International Artist Programme is proud to announce the participants of 2018 HIAP Residency Programmes. Most of the residencies have now been confirmed, with only a few selections to be made based on the upcoming open calls and residency exchange partnerships. This year marks the 20th anniversary of HIAP with many celebrations coming up later this year!

The central focus of HIAP residency programmes is to provide opportunities for local and international artists and curators to conduct research, build networks and engage in an interdisciplinary dialogue with the HIAP community. Over the past few years, HIAP’s aim has been to extend the duration of the residency periods and to arrange the residencies around specific residency seasons, which enables stronger bonds to be built within the residency community. The duration usually varies between one to three months, but can last up to 11 months.

HIAP Open Studios are a chance to meet up with the HIAP residents and get a glimpse of the work that they have been developing during their residency. HIAP hosts Open Studios at the end of each residency season in May, August and November. Throughout the year HIAP organises also other public events, such as talks and exhibitions, and residents realise their own self-organised events.

HIAP is also engaged in international residency exchanges and collaborations which offer residencies for Finnish artists (or artists based in Finland) in Frankfurt / Germany, Dublin / Ireland, Cambridge / United Kingdom, Seoul / South Korea and Tokyo / Japan.
