The DobraVaga Gallery is again announcing the Open Studio programme, which we established after becoming aware that artists at the beginning of their career often do not have the possibility of obtaining a space for artistic work. We have therefore been inviting artists without their own studio to work in our space for an agreed period of three months since our very beginning.

We are inviting Slovenia-based artists who are at the beginning of their professional artistic career and work in the field of visual art or new media, or experiment with new and/or classic media, techniques or artistic expressions, to apply. The selected artists will be able to work in the free DobraVaga studio for a period of three months during the gallery’s opening hours, and will also receive a one-time fee. At the conclusion of the residency, they will present their work.

Send your application to the DobraVaga Gallery Open Studio open call to info@dobravaga.si (subject: OS 2025 open call application) until 10. 8. 2024 at the latest.

The application should include:

– name and surname

– contact (e-mail and phone, residential address in Slovenia)

– CV and/or artist statement (half an A4 page, describing the artist’s work, techniques, and fields of interest)

– current artistic production: photographs and concepts of 3–5 art pieces, or a portfolio (video works should be submitted via active links to YouTube, Vimeo or other video content websites)

We are accepting applications to four (4) three-month residencies: October–December 2025, January–March 2026, April–June 2026 and July–September 2026. We reserve the right to change the dates and number of residencies.

Candidates who submit their application by and including 10. 8. 2024 will presumably be notified of the selection towards the start of September 2025.
