Special offer for upcoming artists and art lovers! Painting sky and sea in Istria, 11.09.-18.09.23
The Art Circle Residence program offers a unique opportunity for two individuals to work alongside accomplished artist Anne Wölk. Participants will spend one week in a small and flexible group of up to four people in Croatia, where they can exchange views, learn to paint, enjoy the landscape and connect with the local art community in Croatia. 
Two additional artists or art lovers will be selected by the Board of Art Circle Residence after the application deadline and informed on 04.08.23 to arrange flights. This year Dr. Anna Prinz, president of acr-europe, will organize the residency. At the end of the residency art works created during the week will be exhibited during a vernissage, most likely on one of the surrounding wineries to meet and connect with local artists and art lovers, organized by acr-europe. 

Who is ArtCircleResidence-Europe Connect (acr-europe)? We are a not for profit organization, based in Düsseldorf,founded in 2021 as a counterpart to an Australian NGO with the same mission. The idea of acr-europe is to connect artists and innovation and inspire both. Therefore the stay is not limited to artists only. 
The board of acr-europe will decide whom to select for the week according to the donations received so far. Applicants can offer donations too. A donation of 1500 Euro would earn you the sponsorship title “art angel” and secure one scholarship. For more detailed information please write to : artcircleresidence@gmail.com
