Permanent graphic artists in residence
Every year Trix selects 8 fresh graphic residents. They get free access to the studio for a whole year.
These residents are selected via an open call that is launched once a year (December). The selection is made by the artistic team of Trix, supplemented by a council consisting of members of Afreux, Gezeever and Frans Masereel Centrum. Currently you can apply until January 15th for a residency in 2025:
