Between 2022-2023, the AR-Ukraine-Internal Residency Network of cultural institutions, art centres and private art initiatives has hosted over 100 artists and cultural workers at safe locations within Ukraine. Funding was provided by UNESCO, Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and Teiger Foundation. (UNESCO does not endorse any product, service, brand or company.) This included funding for travel and logistics, insurance, full living grants for about 3 months each, coordination costs of hosts and renovations and repairs at three hosting institutions.
The hosting institutions have included Bakota Hub / Platform Ostriv/ Khata-Maysternya / Creative Residence MC6 / Retreat Art House / Asortymentna Kimnata / post impreza media / Lviv Municipal Art Center / Detali / Dro.ART / Social Activity Center (Active Community) / Urban Culture Institute (Art – Claster “Na Poshti”) / NVAIR (Nazar Voitovich Art Residence) / Congress of Cultural Activists (CCA)
