Artist in residency programs
All around the world you will find residencies for artists that offer a place to stay and work. Residencies can be a great way to find new inspiration and time to focus on your art. Some residencies even provide financial support, but mostly you have to pay for your stay. Several Norwegian cities and regions have a studio in Berlin (or other places), available for artists from those cities or regions.
