The foundation Edvard Munch’s Studios offers a studio residency for professional artists in one of the artist apartments at Ekely in Oslo. The apartment is located at the end of a terraced house with 6 units. It was built in 1959 after design by the famous Norwegian architects Jens and Wenche Selmer.
The apartment has a spacious studio of 32 m² with large north-facing windows, a skylight and its own entrance. The integrated apartment has two bedrooms, kitchen, living room, bathroom, garden and terrace. A total of 102 m².
Professional artists living outside of Oslo, who need to work in the city for a period of time can apply for a residency. The apartment makes it possible to bring family or be up to three artists applying together.
Residency artists commit to participate in a public event during their stay such as an artist talk, open studio or similar.
The residency program was established in 2024 for a 3-year pilot period supported by Sparebanksstiftelsen DNB. Criterias and length of stay varies from year to year during the pilot run.
