There is worldwide interest in artist residencies, and many government agencies are involved in supporting residency programs and/or the artists that take part in them.

In order to gather information about ?government support for artist residencies‘, IFACCA distributed a
survey in September 2012 to arts councils and ministries of culture worldwide.

IFACCA received responses to the survey from 18 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Cook Is, Cuba, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Latvia, NZ, Scotland, Singapore, Tunisia, United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

The report considers:

  • Government Support for Artist Residencies
  • Objectives and Outcomes of Residencies
  • Mapping of Residencies
  • Funding Opportunities for Residencies
  • Evaluation of Residencies
  • Future Actions
