/ RESIDENCY
Before the official establishment of Zico House in Beirut, Zico constantly welcomed artist residency, providing them, when needed, the space and the technical equipment for their work.
In 2002, after the first edition of the Beirut Street Festival, the management of Zico House realized the importance of having a place, in which foreign artists could reside, could meet with Lebanese artists and could think of future common projects.
Since then, Zico House has dedicated three rooms on the 2nd floor for residencies;
it hosted Residents from several countries like Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Holland, Italy, the Arab World, etc…

There are no rules for Artist Residencies at Zico House.
There is flexibility in the choice of the Residency, depending on the Artist and their Project.
Residency projects can be initiated individually by an artist interested in using Beirut as a base for their work, or by Zico House inviting the artist to Beirut to participate in a given project, or through collaboration and/or exchange between Foreign art organizations and Zico House; from another Local cultural organization or NGO that wants to host the artists at Zico House.
Beirut is home to a vibrant and thriving arts community, with numerous galleries, studios, and organizations dedicated to fostering the creativity and growth of local and international artists. One of the most renowned destinations for artistic residencies in the city is Zico House, a space that offers artists a peaceful and inspiring environment to create and collaborate. With access to a supportive community of fellow artists, Zico House is a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Beirut’s arts scene.
