2026 Open Calls
Site Specific Interdisciplinary Residency
Site-Specific takes place in Spain’s Ricote Valley, where the Segura River winds through pine-covered mountains and semi-desert lands shaped by centuries of ecological and cultural flux. The residency is interdisciplinary with focus on live art, performance art, dance, body art, social practice, theatre/performance making, conceptual art, experimental photography, and artistic research. We are particularly interested in proposals that engage with our unique landscape which holds ancient migrations, agricultural intensity, and a coexistence between human and more than human ecologies. We welcome artists who wish to work not simply in site, but with it.
Spain | Rolling deadline. 1-3 month residences take place all year.
Rolling application. Limited spaces each month; applications are read on a rolling basis. Acceptance and waitlist notifications are sent within one week of application. We strongly encourage applying early for your preferred month and residency period.
