Long-term residencies (11 months)

"Artistes en résidence" - 13 candidates are selected each year following a call open to all artists, regardless of their nationality, who can demonstrate a significant body of work. Candidates must present a project related to the Iberian Peninsula in one of the following disciplines: architecture, visual arts, video art, choreography, film, music composition and photography. Applications are submitted in autumn, and the final phase takes place in spring, with an interview at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Both the dossier and the final interview must be conducted in French, a language shared by the members of the selection committee.

Long-term grants - In addition to this group of 13, two Spanish artists are selected through specific calls for applications in partnership with the City of Valencia and the Diputación de Zaragoza. These calls are usually launched in late spring. In 2024, a similar call for applications will be launched in collaboration with the city of Malaga.
 

Short-term residencies (2 to 6 months)

Partner-funded grants - Throughout the year, recruitment campaigns are organised in partnership with public or private institutions. These collaborative grants enable artists to be welcomed for residencies lasting from 1 to 6 months. Each partnership has its own specific requirement and selection criteria.
 

Artistic PhD candidates

Practice-led research - Each year Casa de Velázquez funds a 3-year 'practice-led research' artistic doctoral contract. Applicants must be registered at a French university (no nationality requirements) and present a thesis project in the field of artistic creation.
