Opportunity Description

Camargo Foundation presents its flagship program, the Core Program, which awards residency to those who can impact and bring ground-breaking experiments, interdisciplinary approaches, and research in Arts and Humanities.

Every year, the program receives more than 1500 submissions, of which only 14 (7 artists plus seven scholars and thinkers) will be allowed to become fellows and get residency in a contemplative and stunning environment. The fellows will have the facilities to think, create and connect. The participants can apply as artists, thinkers, or scholars, whichever category fits their skills and knowledge.

The Camargo Fellowship provides time and space for the residents and organizes exchanges within the group. They also develop a collective spirit, one of the program’s distinctive features.
