What the official page cannot answer alone.
How should I decide whether a self-funded residency is financially realistic?
“Accommodation appears to be available, but I cannot tell what travel, food, materials and local transport would cost me.”
Build the decision from uncovered costs, not the headline benefit. Ask the organiser to confirm accommodation charges, minimum stay, studio access and any required public activity. Then price return travel, insurance, food, local transport, materials and lost income. Apply only if the programme-specific benefit still justifies that full amount.
