Fees, travel and accommodation.
Working as an artist is a profession, therefore each artist is given the cost of travel and accommodation, as well as a fee during their stay.
Mentoring
Mentors with artistic and pediatric expertise follow you during the process. If necessary, it is possible to obtain external guidance from the campus and the many employees at Volda University College.
Interdisciplinarity
No one is good at everything, and during Seanse's residence program you get to participate in an interdisciplinary artist college. Good for you, good for the others.
