The Prãgiedruliai Residency Programme is open to local and international creators, including artists and creative professionals. Participants are offered the opportunity to live and work in Panevėžys, in the scenic Skaistakalnis Park, surrounded by nature on the banks of the Nevėžis River, and to engage with the local community.

Overview

Prãgiedruliai Creativity Center offers a variety of spaces designed to support artistic practice,
experimentation, learning, and collaborative work. Residents can explore and use a combination of
creative studios, outdoor areas, exhibition spaces, and communal facilities to develop, present, and
share their projects.
Prãgiedruliai is a place to work with context, give back through creative action, and develop projects that
resonate beyond the studio.
