STUDIO PROGRAM CASTRO

PREREQUISITES

There are no age limits.

Good knowledge of the English language. All the activities of the Program will in fact be in English.

No academic qualification is required to apply for the Study Programme. However, the research trajectory of those who apply must demonstrate a high level of quality and motivation.

The fellows are required to move to Rome for the entire period of the program and participate in the weekly CASTRO activities, a crucial part of the program for the purposes of exchange and growth.

Applicants must demonstrate a significant interest in collaborative work environments.  Applicants must be able to demonstrate the importance of a Studio Program in Rome for their practice; they must be excited about the opportunity to share the experience with the CASTRO community.

GUIDELINES

The program is recommended for artists who feel the need to participate in an educational program.

All fellowships at CASTRO include a studio, activities and constant feedback. The studio is intended as a workplace, it is not allowed to live at CASTRO.

The fellows will have regular meetings with a Tutor who will follow them in their research, with the other fellows, and with the CASTRO Team.

During the meetings with the members of the Team, the training activities offered by the CASTRO Studio Program will be organised and tailored to each Fellow: studio visits, field trips, tutorials, group tutorials, CRITS.

During their stay at CASTRO, Fellows will be able to propose artist talks/public presentations, both in order to present their practice and as an additional research tool. The CASTRO Team will evaluate the proposals by agreeing the possible budget and the modalities of realisation of the event.
