LABoral Centro de Arte is one of the partner institutions of the programme Ayudas a la creación, investigación y producción de proyectos artísticos en residencia TABACALERA. This initiative, promoted by the Ministry of Culture, finances the creation, research and production of artistic projects in the field of visual arts and contemporary creation through a residency in some of the partner institutions.
The call also aims to encourage the mobility of creators and researchers, reduce the territorial imbalance and promote new models of cultural cooperation.
What does the Call offer?
This call promotes artistic residencies in different cultural centres in Spain, making TABACALERA the axis of a system of interaction between artistic institutions. This system supports creators, researchers and managers who contribute to boosting the cultural sector in different parts of the country. It also encourages cooperation between regional and local entities and new emerging spaces in the cultural sphere.
Who can apply for this call?
The grants provided by the Ministry of Culture are aimed at contemporary creators in a broad sense of the term. Spanish nationals and/or residents in Spain without age limit who carry out practices in which works in any format, installations or performances are produced, as well as those who propose research or experimentation in the creative field, may apply.
