About Summer Sessions
“V2_Lab · Summer Sessions” are short-term international art and technology residencies for emerging artists and designers. A network of cultural organizations all over the world sponsors and hosts the residencies. Every summer, V2_Lab offers early-career artists and designers support so they can take part in production residencies abroad.
If selected, the artist will gain an opportunity to work in a highly productive atmosphere with support, feedback, and expert supervision. Each Summer Sessions residency lasts approximately eight weeks and takes place between June and September. (Date could be adjusted by the organizations.) During this period the artist will develop their project from concept to presentable work, ready to show.
