The International Residency Program at the art centre “Pushkinskaya-10” was founded in 2012 in the oldest independent cultural centre in St. The residency is located in the central district of the city and provides potential resident-artists with both working and living spaces. However, resident artists are not confined to a single studio space. We believe that all of our artists are members of ou
r community, free to use all of the facilities on the art centre’s grounds, such as: the library, dance and performance practice space, sound recording studio, presentation and exhibition spaces and others. The art centre is also home to a museum, café and galleries. The International Residency Program is open to individual artists as well as to artistic groups working in all fields of contemporary art. We accept artists who work in various disciplines such as sculpture, visual art, new media, filmmaking and so forth. While the disciplines are unlimited, there is one main condition for participating in our residency program: an interesting project idea and the desire to work in a new cultural space. Since our Residency’s founding we have authors from South America, Asia and Europe. Each artist has entered our community with his or her own cultural background, artistic training and world-views. Though there is no formal social component to our program, we hope that our resident-artists are able to share their experiences as well as learn about alternative and underground art in Russia. However, we also encourage resident artists to explore the world-renowned galleries, museums, theaters, concert halls and ballets in St. Our city is uniquely known as the “cultural capitol” of Russia and it is worth exploring for both inspiration and leisure.
