Santa Mònica grants

Artistic residencies are understood as temporary stays carried out by creative agents in the context of the center and with a set of accompaniment and support services that it offers. The model implies an experience of exchange in the same space, which is why the Santa Mònica Arts Center will contribute to the production of a collective dimension and interaction between the various artists and their projects.

The objective of activating these relational or participatory artistic research projects, aimed at the public, is to generate forms of social return towards the citizens. These results will be disseminated through the various channels available to the Santa Monica Arts Center, specifically those related to the modality in which each specific project is registered.

The types of Grants for research projects and artistic experimentation in residence at Santa Mònica are:

a) Research in programming and audience activation

Grants for research on experimental forms of programming and audience activation, which use the Center's own activity as a resource to develop around it various experimental activations directly related to the ongoing research.

b) Research in architecture, design of spaces and bodily dispositions

Grants for research that rethinks the design functions of exhibition spaces and ephemeral architectural devices, as well as constructions in public space. Projects can also investigate experimental dispositions of audiences in relation to the Center's activities, proposing new forms of relationship between the public and the space.

c) Research in digital creation and programming

Grants for research projects, creation and experimental production of applications, platforms and other digital projects that the Center uses, its programming and the content it generates as resources for its own research.

d) Research in experimental forms of digital communication

Grants for projects dedicated to researching and experimenting on forms of digital mediation, communication and dissemination, focused on the experimental creation of multimedia content for the web and social networks. The Center's programming and content can be used as resources for its own research.

e) Research in experimental editorial design

f) Research on educational artistic programs

Grants for projects that investigate and experiment with educational activities and diverse training mediations, as well as around various digital training actions.
