Schmidt Ocean Institute is a private non-profit operating foundation established in March 2009 to advance oceanographic research, discovery, and knowledge, and catalyze sharing of information about the oceans. The Institute is devoted to the inspirational vision of the Founders that the advancement of technology and open sharing of information will remain crucial to expanding the understanding of the world's oceans. Since the Earth's oceans are a critically endangered and least understood part of the environment, the Institute dedicates its efforts to their comprehensive understanding across intentionally broad scope of research objectives. Artists and scientists both have the ability to offer a deeper understanding of our Ocean. They are important storytellers that help people to see the ocean in new perspectives. Applying these talents to ocean science and conservation can create a new space for dialogue and understanding. Schmidt Ocean Institute is uniquely positioned to provide collaborations between artists and some of the world’s leading marine scientists, using the Institute’s research vessel Falkor as a platform of connection and interdisciplinary reach. The science cruises offer a range of unique technology-based ocean research that lends to artistic exploration. Like scientists, artists conceptualize and put together ideas in new ways. The organizers anticipate that the cross fertilization of disciplines through our Artist-at-Sea program will result in a broader awareness of the important research occurring on Falkor and a better understanding of the complex ocean issues facing us today. They believe that by providing a platform where experts from different disciplines are brought together, cross-pollination of ideas will transform both the scientists’ and artists’ work. Schmidt Ocean Institute is looking for artists of broad disciplines to work together with scientists and crew to take inspiration from the research occurring aboard Falkor. They are seeking artists who will use the time on the ship to cultivate their creativity and respond to the research that they are immersed in, using art to communicate science to a broad audience. Priority will go to artists who incorporate elements of technology or cutting edge methods into their techniques or medium. Artists interested in the Artist-at-Sea program should be able to make deep and meaningful connections to the science on board, bridging the research conducted at sea with the general public. The goal is to make people rethink the way marine science is shared and break down the complexities of ocean research. Artists will be asked to work side-by-side with the scientists and Falkor crew to develop art through close and productive collaborations. Artists immersing themselves in day-to-day ship life will be asked to tie these experiences together through conceptualization, data collection, and application.

Religious orders run them in a tradition of kindness. It was a place of hospitality and prayer, combined with a not so much hidden agenda of evangelization. It then also served as a hospital, but the idea of a single place reserved for medical care only, did not exist yet. You can call it a big medieval Inn, providing also housing. Only by the 16th century, admissions shifted slowly to the chronically ill exclusively. You might give a look at Michel Foucault’s writings to get, a maybe more sinister, but also clearer picture of how medical institutions were established throughout time. The philosophy of a Hôtel-Dieu, of innkeeping in the Middle Ages as well as the philosophy of a contemporary art gallery today however goes more or less like this: “The poor man is happy when the rich has his fun”.
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in partnership with the School of Arts will provide a residency to an international artist or curator to develop their work for a period of three months.

The selected artist is expected to engage in the activities of the School of Arts and be available to present their work processes to the students and in a public presentation, to be scheduled. The selected artist must also be available to be interviewed for research and communication purposes. The artist can freely set their working schedule, according to the availability of labs and materials that he might need, but he should be available to meet with the residency supervisors if it is requested in advance.

Ses Dotze Naus (the twelve vessels in Ibicencan) was created to foster and develop contemporary culture on Ibiza with a strong international profile. Our name is metaphor for the artists as vessels we bring to Ibiza to interact with the island, contribute ideas, and create cultural and social value. The Ses Dotze Naus Foundation develops artists’ residencies, exhibitions and public programs; contributing to the island as a place for creation, production and enjoyment of contemporary art. The foundation brings artists and thinkers to research and produce projects within the context of Ibiza, its narratives, and its culture. La Carpintería, their space for production, exhibition and encounter is located in an active industrial area. The foundation is firmly focussed on the future of the island, always having in mind its rich heritage while embracing its global audience. 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.

Shankill Castle was first built as a Queen Anne House and extended and castellated in the 1820s. Steeped in history, it has been a place of inspiration to artists for the last 20 years.

Shiro Oni Studio is made of 6 buildings, plus a 2-acre brewery complex, all just a few minutes walking distance from one another. The program introduces the Japanese countryside to artists. Shiro Oni Studio offers private studios, opportunities to work with the surrounding community, workshops, exhibition spaces, comfortable accommodations, and a central location that allows guests to shop and get around town without the need of a car. 1. Individual work: Away from the congested urban life of Japan and surrounded by mountains in the small town of Onishi (ogre stone) in Gunma prefecture, artists can work free from outside distractions. Shiro Oni Studio's first priority is to provide each artist with individual studio space to focus on their work. 2. Exchange of ideas : Shiro Oni Studio was founded with the belief that while artists produce much of their work individually, the development of ideas going into that work benefits from a strong social network. Studios located in the center of town foster a spirit of exchange between artists and also with the surrounding community. 3. Connecting rural Japan to the rest of the world : While most foreigners visit Japan's urban areas, the popularity of those destinations overshadow the larger rural landscape. Visitors staying in the countryside have the opportunity to meet and work with the people living there. The town of Onishi is typical of the larger economic and population aging problems Japan faces. Artists staying at Shiro Oni studio will be bringing diversity and cultural exchange to an area of Japan too often overlooked. Shrio Oni Studio gives artists an opportunity to collaborate and learn outside the studio. They introduce artists to Japanese rural culture, building personal relationships that benefit both artists and area locals. Workshops are chosen by artists at the beginning of their stay. Residents in the past have participated in tea ceremony, calligraphy, zen meditation and other workshops.
