THE INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP

The International Fellowship is a valuable opportunity for an artist who has not resided in Italy recently who intends to bring his/her/their practice to Rome.

CASTRO offers a 22sqm studio space, monthly tutorials and regular interviews with the Team at CASTRO. During the interviews the Team members will agree on studio visits, workshops with local artisans and guided tour of the city on the base of the fellows interests and practice.

During their stay, the Fellow will have the opportunity to organise a talk or lecture at CASTRO to either present their practice or as a tool to further their research.

The International Fellowship is a valuable opportunity for a foreign artist whose work shows exceptional merit and promise.

Duration: 17 weeks (Mid-October to mid-February and March to June)
