ODAPARK CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ART
Odapark is a landscape park of 19 hectares. In the heart of the park is the Odapavilion with the historical Tea House. In this pavilion, we present changing exhibitions of contemporary visual arts, organise lectures and concerts and receive young and old for educational programmes. In the historical park and the adjoining woods, there is a collection of sculptures by international artists. At Odapark, we do not make art more difficult than necessary, but we do not simplify the world either. Whether you come for the art, the nature, the free wifi, a cup of coffee, a school assignment or just to share your story, you are welcome!

Venray is a small city with 28,000 inhabitants, located in the north of the province of Limburg. By Dutch standards, it is a sparsely populated area, with plenty of space for agriculture and nature. Although the region does not have an urban art scene, there is a great involvement in contemporary art by local volunteers and organisations.
In 2021, the residency will be linked to the Nieuwe Uitzichten project, in cooperation with Museum Van Bommel van Dam in Venlo. Artists will work in the region to come up with creative solutions to enhance a 'green' environment.
In 2022 and 2023, there will be a call for artists who want to develop a site-specific work for the public space of Odapark or the surrounding woods.
Studio and accommodation will depend on the project location, but will as much as possible be located close to Odapark.
