[Call for Curators]

SAC International Curatorial Residency Program 2019

SAC International Curatorial residency Program 
2019 is the residency program at Barcelona's Sant 
Andreu Contemporani, in collaboration with Fabra 
i Coats - Fàbrica de Creació and Institut Ramon 
Llull, available to international curators. As 
part of the program, we are announcing an open 
call for proposals to choose an international 
curator who will be part of the Miquel 
Casablancas Prize for the Visual Arts' jury in 
2019, and will later develop a curatorial project 
with a selection of catalan artists chosen from 
applicants to the prize. The project must be 
presented at the country of residence of the 
curator or in another international venue that 
she/he decides. The residency covers the expenses 
of jurying the prize and for the curatorial 
proposal (1,700 ¤ subject to applicable taxes), 
for the production of the exhibition (2,000 ¤ 
subject to applicable taxes), accommodation and 
travel.

The purpose of the open call is to offer the 
curator personal knowledge of the art context 
through involvement in the jury of the Miquel 
Casablancas Prize, and to foster, in the context 
of young art talent, future international 
collaborations between local and foreign cultural 
actors.
