Liquida Palermo Studio Residency: Open Call for Photographers and Visual Artists

Liquida – Palermo Studio Residency, a program founded and co-curated by BACO and Minimum, has launched an open call for photographers and visual artists. The residency runs from April 27 to May 25, 2018, in Palermo, Italy, just before the opening of Manifesta, the itinerant contemporary art biennial, on June 16.

Organizers cover production of a final exhibition at Minimum, plus two public presentations: one at Ballarak in Palermo and another at Farm Cultural Park in Favara. Deadline for applications is April 2, 2018. No age or nationality restrictions. Pre-selected artists will be notified by March 29; winner announced on Liquida Residency website by April 2.
