Interested artists should send their CV, the proposed project, details of related activities designed to attract different kinds of visitors, and a methodology for documenting the creative process. Artists should also list three centres and residency spaces in order of preference.

Grant
Each artist will be awarded a 2500 EUR grant to cover allowances, research and production. In addition, a grant of up to 500 EUR (including taxes) will be given to each artist to cover travelling expenses.

Residency
Each artist will spend eight weeks at one participating space between 1 February and 27 March 2016.

During their residency, the artists should get together (28–31 March 2016) to share experiences with each other and the art centre directors, and to discuss the artistic projects they plan to carry out. (This meeting is included within the fees, allowances and travelling expenses paid).
