Artistic Residency Program
Since 2012 Artistic Residency program runs in Garage throughout the year. Its duration varies between 1 and 2 weeks for each resident artist or group and it focuses on performing and visual arts, training programs, theatre, dance, music and film.
This program, in form of co-production, invites the artists, provides the appropriate conditions and gives them the opportunity to conduct further research on their ongoιng projects.
Artists in residence usually run masterclasses open to the public as well as a presentation followed by an open discussion at the end of the artistic residency.

At each performance site, the receiving computer reproduces the programmed sounds and images on the spot.
