Availability

Trélex operates on a first come first serve basis. To be added to our waiting list please email trelex@trelexresidency.org stating the following:

Name

Ideal timeframe (min 3 weeks - max 3 months)

Preferred time of year

*Minimum period is 3 weeks (except in very particular circumstances)

The number on the waiting list hovers around 140. This might seem long, but our experience is that about 50% of artists who express serious interest will actually proceed to reserve tickets and come, so don't loose heart and apply anyway. It's difficult to say how long the waiting time is as residents come for different amounts of time but roughly, the waiting time is currently within a year and a half. 

No residency is confirmed until flights/travel has been booked (see how to apply).

The calendars below show our past, current and future bookings. Solid blue dates are booked and confirmed and solid yellow are ready to begin the booking process. Blank dates are currently unbooked, but as we have a waiting list of around 140 artists it is most likely that those slots are in the process of being organised.

When applying you are welcome to request a time frame that works for you as this gives us a better idea of everyone's availability.

Since the Trélex Residency opened in 2012 we have welcomed over 180 artists to the Switzerland residency alone.

When we reached 100 artists, to celebrate, we mapped out all 100 artists, showing roughly where everyone has arrived from. 100 Artists
