About the foundation

Delfina Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation based in London that serves as a dynamic platform for artistic research, exchange, and production. Founded in 2007 by Aaron Cezar and Tim Marlow, it was established with the belief that cross-cultural dialogue and sustained support for artists are essential to a vibrant contemporary art ecosystem. The foundation operates a residency programme that brings together artists, curators, and thinkers from around the world to develop new work and engage with the UK's cultural landscape. Its ethos is rooted in process-driven exploration, critical discourse, and the fostering of long-term international networks, rather than the mere presentation of finished objects.

Application guidance

Artists and curators should approach Delfina Foundation with a clear, research-driven proposal that aligns with the foundation's thematic interests and demonstrates a genuine need for a London-based residency. It is crucial to articulate how the residency would contribute to your practice and how you would engage with the local context. Since opportunities are often advertised as open calls in partnership with funders, applicants must carefully follow the specific guidelines and eligibility criteria for each call. A strong application typically includes a well-defined project outline, a compelling artist statement, and evidence of a thoughtful approach to dialogue and exchange. Given the competitive nature, early preparation and attention to detail are advised.
