Visegrad Artists Residency Program
Artistic residencies in A4
A4 regularly hosts and broadcasts Visegrad (V4) artists working in the field of new media, music and performance arts. During a residency period, makers have workspace at their disposal for research, development and experimentation and we offer them guidance. In doing so, we promote the development of makers’ artistic practices. Read more about A4's artists-in-residence in 2024.

Contemporary trends in music, cinema, theater and media arts
We presented leading artists from Norway and Iceland who are not usually seen in Slovakia. This included 9 concerts of contemporary Scandinavian and world music, 12 Slovak premieres of Scandinavian films about art or current social issues and a theater performance. Artists from Slovakia had the opportunity to present their work at the Piksel (November 2016) and Borealis (March 2017) festivals in Norway.

Sound Experiments
New Approaches to Non-Formal Music Learning
Sound Experiments was a two-year international educational project of experimental sound for youth. The main project goal is to explore and develop alternative educational methods in the field of experimental music for youngsters, age 13 to 20. Unlike conventional music schools whose programme is based on traditional methods of teaching music, starting with scores and classical harmony, Sound Experiments puts an emphasis on listening, mutual sound research and co-creation among young participants and their mentors. Read more on the Sound Experiments website.
Support
The project is realized through the support of EU’s Erasmus+ program.
