List of residents

We constantly develop international residency programmes by aligning Švicarija’s mission (community, art and nature) with the needs of artist mobility. Since 2018, artists from other countries have taken part in the Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts Residency, Master Printmakers Residency, Critics Residency and Writer in the Park Residency and, since 2026, also in the End of the World Residency and SUN Residency. In addition, we develop inter-residency exchanges as part of the EU projects that MGLC cooperates in.
