Studio 511: International Art Residency and Artist-Run Contemporary Art Space

Studio 511 is an artist-run contemporary art space and international residency program located in the picturesque National Park of Avala, near Belgrade, Serbia. Situated in a historic 1935 villa, the residency provides a tranquil and supportive environment designed to cultivate authentic productivity for professional creatives. Studio 511 welcomes applications from a wide range of practitioners, including artists, curators, writers, designers, musicians, and filmmakers, for self-funded and self-directed stays. The facility offers a two-floor apartment converted into an ample studio space with an art gallery feel, making it suitable for both focused work and exhibition arrangements. Founded by artist Filip Matic, Studio 511 bridges the gap between independent and institutional sectors by maintaining partnerships with key cultural institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCAB) and the Remont Art Association in Belgrade. The program emphasizes the importance of uninterrupted time and meaningful connections, fostering a vibrant network of local and international professionals. Residents benefit from the villa's serene garden and proximity to forested scenery, creating a unique context for artistic research, development, and collaborative dialogue within the contemporary art framework.
