La Granja Art Center promotes the creation, research, experimentation, and exhibition of innovative

art work, and also the development of new social dynamics between artists and community. La

Granja conducts and implements two initiatives to accomplish its goals. One is the Artist in Residence

Program, and the second, Proyecto Chamaco (Children Project).

The Artist in Residence Program (ARP) offers a unique opportunity to step outside of the daily routine

and work in a stimulating and inspiring environment, providing the necessary isolation to concentrate

and focus in a creative process. An important component of the Program is to foster exchanges with

the community, arts organizations, promoters, and national and international artists. With the purpose

of connecting La Granja´s activities with the local community, artists will prepare one working session

with the children of Proyecto Chamaco.

The Selection Committee of La Granja will select a group of emerging and established artists from

different nationalities to develop or finish an artistic project. Upon completion of their residencies, one

of the ARP partner organization presenters will give artists the opportunity to show their results (as

finished pieces or as works in progress). The Selection Committee will evaluate the characteristics

of each project to decide its presentation space and will solve any issue not foreseen in this Call for

Proposals.

La Granja is open to all disciplines - visual, literary, performance, interdisciplinary, music, audio,

video, digital media. Priority will be given to projects focused on the creation of site-specific

pieces for La Granja including its photographic and video documentation (video dance, video

art), as well as interdisciplinary investigations.

Residency duration:

Mínimum 15 and maximum 30 days, between February 1st and May 1st, 2011.
