nctm e l’arte: Artists-in-residence is a scholarship, issued every six months and dedicated to visual artists residing in Italy who wish to participate in artist residency programmes based outside Italy and globally recognized by the arts world. The scholarship was established as part of nctm e l’arte, the project launched by Nctm Studio Legale to support contemporary art.
specific requirements for participation
The intent of the scholarship is to promote international mobility for artists who apply, following admission to international ‘in residence’ programs. The scholarship total amount is Euro 10,000 (ten thousand) per year, to be allocated throughout multiple awards during the two yearly admissions, based on criteria taking into account artistic profile, clarity and significance of the projects, training opportunities offered by the host institution and quality of the project proposed (if any).
