The Announcement
Ar.Vi.Ma., civic Painting School of Pavia, in collaboration with the Cultural Sector of the City of Pavia, has announced the competition for the second edition of Artist-in-Residence, which offers the possibility for an Italian or foreign artist to live and work in Pavia for the first three weeks of June.
Purpose of the Residency
In this second edition, the Artist-in-Residence intends to promote the research of an artist who has already given readable results. The artist will use his/her Residency to continue the research and translate it into an artwork, which will be included in the permanent collection of the school.
Duties of the winning artist
The winning artist will work on his project at the Ar.Vi.Ma. location without any time limit.
The artist will have to be independent in retrieving the required material, as the school has none of its own.
During his/her stay, the artist will present a weekly report on his/her work to the Artistic Director. He/she will also hold at least one public event (conference and/or workshop).
The finished work will be exhibited for the public at Santa Maria Gualtieri or in another suitable location.
