Selection
The selection of the residency space for each of the projects selected by the commission will be carried out taking into account the fundamental characteristics of each project, as well as the availability of dates for the artist and the space. Although we cannot guarantee this in all cases, the award criterion will attempt to provide both the type of space desired by the artist and the ideal period for the residency.
The integrity and artistic innovation of the proposal will be assessed, the relationship between the community project and the territory, as well as the expanded programming practices (workshops, presentations, talks, participatory projects, etc.) that can support the stay during the residency.
The professional background or situation will be assessed.
The suitability of the project to be carried out with artistic assistance will be assessed.
