The Nordic Alliance of Artists’ Residencies on Climate Action’s (NAARCA) call for applications is now live!

In 2025, we will facilitate two funded residency exchanges taking place between June 2025 and December 2025. The NAARCA resident(s) will receive a fee, materials/equipment allowance, and a travel stipend.

This programme builds upon the research, commissions, and institutional projects NAARCA has launched since 2021 which focus upon the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis, climate justice and the four pillars of sustainability –  ecological, social, psychological and cultural.

This residency supports research, the development of existing and new projects, engagement with local communities, and the production of new work and ideas in relation to the NAARCA partners’ unique ecological contexts.

Hosting a NAARCA resident in 2025 are Artica Svalbard (Norway), Cove Park (Scotland), Narsaq International Research Station (Greenland), and Skaftfell Arts Center (Iceland). Each host institution is listed in the Application Guidelines along with their available dates and details about what they offer.

We welcome applications from artists based in Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway or Scotland, working in visual arts, craft, or design and whose practice intersects with themes surrounding sustainability and the climate emergency.

Deadline: Friday 25 April (14:00 Greenland / 16:00 Iceland / 17:00 Scotland & Norway /18:00 Finland)

These residencies are made possible with support from the Nordic Culture Fund.
