At Leonardo Hotels you can find works by some of the most recognizable Polish contemporary artists. We believe that our space can serve as a place where art is not just presented, but also created – welcome to the project Art Lives Here!
Art Lives Here is a residency program at NYX Hotel Warsaw and Leonardo Royal Warsaw for artists from Central and Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, using photography as their primary medium.
Based on the submitted applications, the jury will select three residents to create a series of five works revolving around the theme of urban photography. During the residency, the participants will have access to the studio, and receive curatorial and production support from the jury and the project ambassadors. The residency will be concluded by the exhibition when the verdict of the Jury will be announced. The winning series will be purchased by the NYX Hotel Warsaw to be included in its permanent art collection and presented alongside works by artists such as Anna Barlik, Norbert Delman, NeSpoon, Mariusz Tarkawian, Aleksandra Waliszewska and Mariusz Waras.
The residency will take place between 8 and 25 July. We are waiting for applications until 2 June.

- accommodation and board at Leonardo Royal Warsaw
