Ukrainian cultural network and Wiz-Art formation invite culture managers at the residences to Lviv! Residences program is aimed at expanding professional ties and cooperation between cultural organizations and the creation of a network of professional cultural managers and artists, as well as enrichment with the experience of the city and the community. Participants will become familiar with new practices and will have the opportunity to improve their managerial skills. 
The residence includes a one or two-week stay in Lviv and exchange of the experience with Wiz-Art formation participants.
