Artist Residency

​

Before the official establishment of Zico House, Zico constantly welcomed artists, providing them, when needed, the space and the technical equipment for their work.

​

In 2002, after the first edition of the Beirut Street Festival, the management of Zico House realized the importance of having a place, in which foreign artists could reside, could meet with Lebanese artists and could think of future common projects.

 

Since then, Zico House has dedicated rooms for residencies; hosting artists from countries like Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Holland, Italy, the Arab World, etc…

​

No rules exist for the artist residencies at Zico House; there is flexibility in the choice of the residency, depending on the artist and his/her project.

​

​

Different types of residency projects can be initiated:

​

• artist submits a request because they are interested in using Beirut as a base for his/her work

• Zico House who invites the artist to Beirut

• collaboration and/or exchange between a foreign arts organization and Zico House

• collaboration with a local cultural organization or NGO wanting to accommodate the artist at Zico House
