Nes Artist Residency General Rules

 

Please read through the Nes Residency rules carefully and sign the bottom of the second page. These rules have been put in place in order to make your stay at the residency as positive and fulfilling as possible.

 

Residency period
The granted residency period is from the first to the last day of the month.

 

Arrival
Check-in is at any time during the day. Our residency coordinator, will meet you when you arrive. She will give you keys and show you where you will be living and working.
Please send us an email at least one week prior to arrival with your arrival information.

 

Residency fee
A 1 month residency fee must be paid upon acceptance (for stays of more than 1 month: we can allow the remaining months fees due no later than 3 months prior to arrival). The residency will not hold your residency placement until you have paid for your stay.

The residency fee is intended to cover the general cost of running the program. It does not constitute rent and the artist therefor does not obtain the legal status of tenant.

550 € The residency fee for a single room and one studio space for one visiting artist.
700 € The residency fee for a double room and one studio space for one visiting artist.
1000 € The residency fee for double occupancy room and two studio spaces for two visiting artists.

 

Cancellation policy:

All cancellations after acceptance and payment incur a 50 euro administration fee.

In addition to the administration fee, our cancellation policy is as follows:
If you cancel 3 months prior to your stay then you receive a complete refund.
Cancellations between 3 and 2 months before your stay incur a 50% refund.
Cancellations between 2 and 1 months before your stay incur a 10% refund.
Cancellations 30 days or less before your residency incur no refund.

In understanding this policy:
To attend the residency some people need time and plan well in advance before attending Nes, we have to turn people away when we offer you your place and you confirm your stay with payment. Should you cancel with late notice, other artists who apply are stripped of this preparation time and even of the opportunity to attend. We are not always able to recover from loosing an artist.

 

 

Guest fee
Artists are allowed to have 1 guest come and stay with them for a few days for a minimal fee of 15 €/night. The residency should be informed of all guests before arrival. All guests are provided with bedding and a towel.
