Build meaningful residencies with Jillat
Jillat works with presenters, institutions, municipalities, regions, festivals and cultural organisations that want to create strong residency opportunities for artists.
We can support the full process — from shaping the open call and selecting artists to hosting, accommodation, production conditions, artist support and follow-up. This allows your organisation to offer professional residencies even when you do not have the space, capacity or local infrastructure to host them yourself.
A residency shaped around your purpose
Every residency begins with a clear question:
Who is the residency for?
What should it make possible?
What kind of support does the artist need?
How should the process connect to place, audiences or professional networks?
Together, we shape a residency that reflects your organisation’s goals while protecting the artist’s working conditions, artistic freedom and need for focused time.
Residencies can support:
-
artistic research
-
choreography and movement development
-
rehearsal and production
-
music, sound and screendance
-
work-in-progress sharing
-
community encounters
-
professional development
-
preparation for touring

For 2026, the current page lists indicative costs for:
-
venue
-
accommodation
-
artist scholarship
-
travel within Sweden
-
administrative services
The administrative service can include the open call, selection process, safety rider, booking and follow-up.

We can provide indicative costs and residency examples for one or several artists. Contact us before including Jillat in an application so that we can confirm availability, scope and a letter of intent.
Why work with Jillat?
Jillat was created to give artists professional working conditions in a rural part of Sápmi.
We believe artists need places where creation can come before presentation, places where they can research, take risks, change direction and develop work without having to arrive with all the answers.
We also believe strong residencies are built through care, clarity and shared responsibility. This means realistic budgets, clear expectations, safe working conditions, respect for access needs and a process that supports both the artist and the commissioning organisation.
