where
During the residency, artists live and work in the Ádám Anna Studio — a shared 120m² home-studio in Budapest, with a garden, two rehearsal spaces. There are no programmed community events or group activities during the residency — instead, you receive time, space, and a supportive context in which to focus, reflect, and create at your rhythm, while benefiting from occasional conversations, shared meals, and spontaneous exchanges that naturally emerge from proximity and co-habitation.
