CO.LABS is seeking partners for a project focused on research and the development of a sustainable and inclusive model for artist residencies. 
CO.LABS is looking for multidisciplinary organizations or institutions operating in the field of independent arts and culture that include artist residencies in their programming. We welcome partners from the performing arts, music, and visual arts fields, with no restrictions on thematic frameworks for the residencies. 

The project aims to primarily research the needs of diverse communities of artists, particularly those from underrepresented or marginalized backgrounds, including artists with disabilities and those with specific access needs. Additionally, the project will provide ongoing learning opportunities for all partners to develop inclusive practices within cultural organizations that facilitate artist residencies. The goal is to develop and implement an inclusive artist residency program for each participating partner, taking into account the local context, needs, and resources of municipal authorities, grant systems, as well as cultural differences and traditions. 

The goal is to co-create and implement inclusive artist residency programs tailored to each participating partner's local context, resources, and funding structures while respecting cultural differences and traditions. The project will also include a research component, gathering data to identify specific needs within each partner organization. Based on this, we will develop adaptable, sustainable models for inclusive artist residencies that respond to those needs while working within systemic possibilities.
