**Please note that our residency programme is no longer running
Nadas’a Bırak Artist Residency Programme opened its doors in Spring 2019. It was held for the second time in Fall 2019, and finally in Spring 2021 with a special hybrid online-in-person edition. The residency offered space for artists and creative individuals seeking to develop their work among a supportive and sustainably-minded community. Each iteration of the programme spanned three weeks, offering studio space, group meetings, co-working hours, artists talks, and studio sharings for artists to connect with one another and the wider NADAS community. The residency culminated in an exhibition and open studio event, where artists had the chance to share their experiences and works from the programme with visitors from around the world.
