Were it not for the pandemics, in a month's time, we would be welcomingthe recipients of the Visegrad Literary Residency Programin Bratislava, just like we do each year.Due to the corona virus situation and the problematic situation at the borders, however, we have decidedtogether with our partnersto postpone the beginning of the spring residency program from May 1st to July 1st 2021. We believe that the decreasing number of infected persons will be favorable to loosening of the measures and most of all, of the strict policy at the borders. We also believe this will increase the safety as well as the quality of the creative stayfor our residents, enabling them to enjoy the atmosfphere of the city and the country that will become their creative home for six weeks. The fall program's date remains unchanged:1 September– 31 November2021.
