Open Call 2025-26 - Residencies in Ibiza for artists and curators

This is an open call for a two-phase residency hosted by SES DOTZE NAUS and available to: one visual artist or curator in based in the Balearic Islands; and two visual artists or curators based in Spain or elsewhere in Europe. During the first phase of their residency, participants engage with the island through research and exploration, fostering a rich contextual understanding. The second phase invites participants to return to the island to finalize their projects: the artists will produce their works, the curators will continue their research, and both will hold public activities and present the results of the projects developed during the residency. 

This framework enables participants to engage deeply with the island of Ibiza and its communities and to develop—or further expand—a project in dialogue with its context, encouraging new perspectives and ways of thinking that are inspired by the island.   

The residency takes place in two locations within the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu, a district of Ibiza: accommodation on a 30-hectare farm in the center of the island, near the town of Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera; and workspace at La Carpintería, the Foundation's center for creation located in the Can Bufí industrial area near the city of Ibiza. The centre hosts creators from various disciplines.   

The residency is scheduled in winter 2025 and spring 2026, and consists of two phases: 

Phase 1: November 23 to December 14, 2025 (3 weeks) 

Phase 2: May 18 to June 8, 2026 (3 weeks)* *Subject to change with advance notice
