RESIDENCY GRANTS AT CACIS
The CACiS residency offers basic conditions for research and study with full access to nature, so that artists can find an ideal working environment in terms of space, concentration and amenities . The unique identity of the CACis (Centre for Contemporary Art and Sustainability) allows it to become a place where works not possible in other locations can be rehearsed and completed. The centre’s philosophy and its radical nature make this a residency where projects and creators submitting applications must already have a markedly different profile.
Arts Discipline
Projects from visual arts, dramatic arts, performance, thought and contemplation, intervention in the landscape and research into new languages connected to sustainability and environmental protection (not exclusively arts-related).
Project Types
- Projects related to education and art in the natural environment
- Projects related to the body, nature and the landscape
- No project. Participation in maintenance and improvement works for the CACIS spaces (dry stone installations/restoration/forestry and orchard work)

15-45 days (between March and November 2019)
