GET INVOLVED
Center Rog is a base for innovative and creative individuals and organisations working in a range of disciplines such as crafts, design, architecture, cuisine and engineering. Our goal is to build a strong international community of creative individuals and organisations who share our values, and to that end we are open to a wide range of cooperation opportunities. We issue annual calls for partners as well as regular calls for projects with a strong environmental and social impact. We are committed to achieving a diverse creative community in terms of gender, nationality and culture, and actively encourage applications from individuals from systemically excluded communities.

Our Residents
There are five living and working spaces on the top floor, intended for hosting foreign guests who are active in similar creative fields as the Rog Centre. According to the principle of international exchanges, we host foreign artists, researchers, and lecturers. One living workspace is larger and is primarily intended for families and creative collectives, while one living studio can be used primarily by artists with migrant and refugee status.
