A living guide to the residency and programme

11 October — 12 December 2026

This is the working guide to the autumn at Hostačov.

The website gives the wider picture. Here you can look more closely at how the residency works and what is actually taking shape across the programme. This is a living document. We’ll keep updating it as the residency takes shape, new people join, and sessions are added.

Some parts are settled months ahead. Others will change with the people who arrive.

🏡 About the Residency

What is it actually like to live here?

How a week begins, what a normal day looks like, how much programme to expect, bedrooms and working spaces, shared life, arrivals, longer stays, and who will be around.

This is the place to start if you are considering spending more than just a weekend at Hostačov.

🗓️ Programme

What is happening while you are here?

Explore the nine weeks, weekend gatherings, week anchors, visiting contributors and the sessions beginning to appear around them.

The programme is intentionally alive: some things are confirmed well in advance, while others emerge from residents and contributors during the week.

Joining

Start with the short application form. We’ll normally respond within a few days.

If there is space and the stay seems like a good fit, we’ll send you registration details. For some longer stays, we may also suggest a short conversation.

Once your dates and contribution are agreed, a 30% deposit confirms your booking.

Once your stay is confirmed, we’ll send a separate check-in form for practical details such as exact dates, arrival, rooming, food and contribution.
