RESIDENCY PROGRAMME FOR COMIC ARTISTS | KRAKÓW | ANGOULÊME

The call for applications for the international residency programme for comic artists is now open.

Apart from the accommodation and reimbursement of travel costs, the participants will also receive a scholarship. The residencies aim to support young artists by providing them with convenient conditions to devote themselves to creative work for a month.

 

The programme is part of the year-long literary residency program of the Kraków UNESCO City of Literature .
