CALL FOR ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE

About the project 

In 2024, three small islands in the Mediterranean Sea, Ustica in Italy, Alonissos in Greece and Gozo in Malta, will host a 7 days residency program, where artists will be inspired by the beautiful natural environments, the ancient maritime traditions and the direct relationships with local communities to create their born-digital and physical artworks. Artists will be encouraged to design artworks to be integrated into the marine, natural and architectural landscapes of the islands, thus creating an open-air and underwater museum making the three Islands a guiding light for Ocean Conservation.
