## Description

The National Gallery of Kosovo (NGK) and the Cité internationale des arts are pleased to announce the second edition of Shtëpi, a residency program for visual artists living and working in Kosovo. This program aims to foster international mobility, expand professional and artistic networks, and strengthen artistic practices through specific support for research, production, and visibility. Three artists will be selected for a three-month fully funded residency in Paris in autumn 2026, which includes tailored professional support and networking opportunities with artists and art professionals based in France. This will be followed by the presentation of their work in a collective exhibition at NGK–QAFA from December 2026 to February 2027. The residency provides a live-work studio, a monthly allowance, and covered international travel and insurance. For the exhibition, artists will receive remuneration, a production budget, and curatorial support.
