Eligibility

Selection Criteria: Uniqueness of the Proposal Relevance of the Project: Connection between your project and the Can Serrat program, as well as the surrounding environment. Projects that engage meaningfully and originally with the cultural, social, and natural context of the region. Tips for submitting your application: Use simple and clear sentences to explain your proposal. Avoid automated art speak and the use of “-isms.” Although nature and rurality are important themes for the residency, bear in mind that Can Serrat receives many applications that explore these concepts. Therefore, we are especially interested in understanding what new or original perspective your proposal brings regarding these topics. Research Can Serrat and its surroundings to better contextualize your project.
