Erdevik Artist Residency  Program (EARP) is open to all artists and creative individuals, working in any discipline such as land and environmental art, photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, video and film, collage, mosaic making, writers, artist working with sound and music etc…. EARP is a creative centre for collaboration, critical dialogue, openness, sharing ideas, for exploring a new creative potential for producing new works and building something which will last far longer than the time spent in the residency…  Collaboration is a mutually beneficial and well-defined relationship between  two or more creatives and proved very popular in this residency. Many artists established relationships with fellow artists, locals, musicians, writers and film makers.
 Information  EU citizens, the USA and Canada do not need visas for Serbia but as Serbia is not in EU you will need your passport.
The currency in Serbia is the DINAR   sign as RSD and the most banks abroad don’t stock the Dinar currency.
You can buy your currency at Belgrade airport when  you arrive or you could use Euros which majority shops  take. MasterCard and Visa are generally accepted  in shops, cafes and restaurants. Serbia is a 3G zone meaning you could call any part of the world from Serbia, using telephone connections.
