Supporting Catalan arts through SAC International Curatorial Residency

SAC International Curatorial Residency Program 2025 is the residency program at Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Contemporani, co-produced with Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB), in collaboration with Fabra i Coats - Fàbrica de Creació de Barcelona, available to international curators. As part of the program, they 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 2025, 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 (2,000 € subject to applicable taxes), the management and production costs 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 collaborations between local and foreign cultural actors.
