A desire to share with Artists, what is celebrated as the most valuable commodity of our era i.e. the
luxury of (uninterrupted) time and space, have moved us to set up an exciting new initiative.
D'CLINIC
is designed
to deliver a supportive community where artists can focus on their own creative practice
and/or
research, share skills and knowledge, interact or collaborate in an multidisciplinary vibrant
environment free from constraint, harshness or formality.
D'CLINIC supports both established and emerging arts practitioners; regardless of whether visual artist,
musician, curator, theorist, writer,...
OUR KEY OBJECTIVES ARE:
- provide optimum working conditions,
- support the development/promotion of new work,
- foster cultural dialogue and/or exchange,
- facilitate professional development opportunities.
WE OFFER
D'CLINIC is a place employed for creative self-development, experimentation and artistic innovation.
The residency has both indoor and outdoor spaces for creativity. The offered working space is
flexible, and generally adopted to each artist's individual requirements and needs.
An open network of cultural institutions & workshops allows us to provide our residency artists with a wide range of equipment and/or materials (i.e. bronze casting tools & foundry for small-scale sculptures, wood workshop, lithograph supplies & press, dark room, screen printing equipment, all sorts of wooden frames, canvas stretchers, ...).
All requirements will be discussed on a case-by-case basis before signing the Residency Contract. Thus at your arrival to D'CLINIC all agreed tools and supplies will be ready for you to use. For details see FACILITIES.

LOCATION
Located in the northeast of Slovenia in the small town of Lendava; where the sun (almost) always shines and the wine (almost) never runs out! Famous for its natural beauty and rich Historical Heritage, laid-back lifestyle Lendava offers an inspirational setting for intensive, introverted exploration, experimentation and/or creation within contemporary arts practices.
D'CLINIC curently operates on two locations.
While our STUDIO is located in the very centre of Old Town, next door to Museum of Citizenry, Typography and Umbrella Manufactory in Lendava, and few minute walk from other important historical & cultural spots of the town; giving our residents an opportunity to recapture the spirit of bourgeoisie from the late 19th century.
D'CLINIC accommodation is to be found somewhat out of the city centre, on a small hill in the middle of Lendava Vineyards giving panoramic views of the surrounding area and providing a chance to escape daily routine while merging with nature.
Here at D'CLINIC we believe the art-creation process is something sacred and thus we assist our artists as much as possible in order for them to concentrate solely on their production. Artists are enabled to work intensively and independently in an encouraging and intimate environment.
Once a month there is an open studio event to which we invite the regional art community in order to promote the cultural exchange between the artists and their adopted home.
D'CLINIC provides support to its residents in a number of ways:
- provide artists with studio space and technical support
- make links locally, regionally and internationally
- provide public presentation opportunities (exhibitions, workshops, talks, screenings,...)
- press release
- facilitates introductions and/or presentations with contemporary galleries, artists and cultural organisations
...all-in-one we help artists make the most of their time in Prekmurje.
For you curious, ingenious creatures we offer various frameworks for creative growth:
TRACTOR Artists in Residence Programme to realise your creative ambitions. MiXER encouraging novelty, risk and experimentation. 220kG a network to share ideas, get feedback, expand views.
