AADK Spain invites artists and researchers to join its 2026 Artistic Residency Program at Centro Negra in Blanca (Murcia, Spain). This edition focuses on the trace-an ambivalent mark between presence and absence, memory and projection. Within the frameworks of body, territory, and spatiality, participants are encouraged to explore the footprint as both a tangible record and an ephemeral gesture that reshapes our ways of inhabiting and perceiving space.

Residencies of 1–6 months are open to individuals and collectives from all disciplines. Each participant receives curatorial guidance, workspace, technical support, mentoring, and documentation, with online visibility through AADK Spain’s platforms. Residency fee includes accommodation: a private room in a shared house (€1000/month) or an optional private apartment (€1300/month).

Residents are invited to join Open Studios and collective activities that encourage dialogue and exchange. Selected artists receive an invitation letter to support funding applications. Apply online with a single PDF (max. 10MB) including CV and portfolio.
