Rome - Italy: Circolo Scandinavo - Open Call

APPLICATION OPEN
for the residency period October 2022 - September 2023

Deadline for applications: 1st of April 2022


For the coming period, we will start by offering 4 rooms. As soon as the regulations will allow us to use the other rooms, we will open additional residencies.

Residencies are preferably a minimum of 2 months. The program may include cultural events
(artist talk, a master class, literary event, concert etc.) all of which are open to the general public,
and other projects designed to promote Nordic artists in Italy. The program contributes to
collaboration and networking with the Italian public, artists, and cultural institutions.

The application period is from 1st of February to 1st of April. All applications are forwarded to
the relevant national artists organisations, after which an inter-Nordic committee makes the final selection (members of the selection committee: professional artists on the Board and the Director of Circolo Scandinavo). The basic criteria is artistic quality, and there is no quota-based
selection. The results are published in the end of July 2022.
