OBJECT and PURPOSE

The BLUEPROJECT FOUNDATION is a non-profit entity based in Barcelona whose main aim is to support and promote national and international artistic creation. This service is offered through a residency programme that provides support for artists and exhibits and promotes work that is both relevant to and a reflection of today's aesthetic, social and intellectual issues. The participating Artists will be chosen according to the conditions established in this CALL FOR ARTISTS, outlined below:
