Each month three artists are hosted, giving a total of nine participants. The residency provides studio space, shared facilities, community living support and Wi‑Fi, while participants are responsible for travel, personal expenses and art materials. The call is open to visual artists, photographers and researchers worldwide, with applications accepted in English and Spanish. The deadline for applications is 30 December 2026. Selected artists will receive a month of residency, mentorship, and the opportunity to present their work in a final exhibition or online activation.
