Conclusion
From the results of the survey we concluded that artists need a space surrounded by nature and has a large territory.
They want to visit new places to get inspired and learn new cultures.
It is important for artists to have a new audience so they can communicate with visitors and hold master classes during the open days.
Taking into account the results of the survey and the analysis of similar cultural projects, we have created our own concept of Art Residency that takes into account the shortcomings and meets the needs of artists.
