The Arts Corporation runs two distinct yet complementary programs, the Residency program and the Production program. Both programs encourage dialogue between visiting artists and local people to share experiences and perceptions.
The Fogo Island Arts Corporation's mission to bring together local communities and the international art scene is reflected in the accommodations and work space provided to Residency Program participants. Striking new studios are being built at locations across the island.
Living spaces are provided in refurbished traditional homes located in nearby communities on the island.
How to apply
Visual artists, curators, writers and filmmakers can apply for residencies on Fogo Island in 2012 – 2013.
Residencies are from 3 to 6 months.
Visiting professionals are provided with a studio (work space) and a house to live in.
Individuals selected to the program can apply for stipend to cover materials and living costs on the island and for travel (to and from Fogo Island only).
Deadline for applications is July 31 2011 (post stamp date).
A list of successful applicants will be published on our website by the end of September 2011.
If your application is successful, you will receive a letter of acceptance. If required, you will be responsible for obtaining a visa to enter the country. The process can start once a contract has been signed with the Fogo Island Arts Corporation.
