The Visual Artist’s/Curator’s Rapid Accelerator – Residency. Stockholm 2025 officially commenced on November 13th. This marks the inaugural phase of an intensive project designed to dynamically support artists and curators in advancing their careers within the international art market.
Participants immediately immersed themselves in a series of creative, networking, and organizational meetings, laying the crucial foundation for their upcoming joint exhibitions. The atmosphere of mutual inspiration and commitment was palpable from the very start—networking sessions quickly fostered new collaborations and a valuable exchange of knowledge and experience, motivating career growth both locally and globally.

Expert Knowledge and Future Plans
A vital part of this initial phase was the set of meetings with special guests, including experienced curators, editors-in-chief, and publicists from various countries. Thanks to their expertise, participants gained key insights into the opportunities and requirements for entering different exhibition programs (shows, fairs) and successfully establishing contacts for publications in media such as magazines, portals, and art publishing houses across Sweden, England, Poland, and France. This dose of practical knowledge is already positively influencing the creative work and future plans of the participants.
What else is in store? Upcoming activities include a creative meeting focused on building Virtual Reality exhibitions and a mini-training session on securing grants for international art projects.
The Grand Finale: FREEDOM Exhibitions
The climax of the residency program will be the exhibitions held under the shared title FREEDOM. These shows will be the final creative outcome of the participants’ intense collaborative work.
