For whom?

The call is for projects aimed at artists working in the field of visual arts, regardless of gender, nationality or age. The selection of candidates will be made based on the quality of their work, their references, and the singularity of their artistic research.

A budget of 500 EUR maximum can be dedicated to the purchase of the equipment necessary for the workshops. The artist will also present their research publicly in the form of an exhibition, a performance, or any other artistic form that seems appropriate.

Successful applicants will have access to the workshop space, a two-room apartment near the workshop, a living grant of 6,000 EUR net for the four months of residence, and a production grant of 2,000 EUR net including production, transport of works and travel.
