Villa R is a new private residency for artists. It is the first international point of reference for contemporary art in the city of Messina, Sicily. It was designed in 1990 by the two owners, Iolanda Vacalebre and Nicola Rustica, who used the villa for artistic and musical productions for many years. Since April 2013, the owners decided to offer most of the spaces of the villa for intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange with professionals (both foreign and Italian). These activities aim especially to the creation of new projects and artworks in a stimulating environment, in contact with other artists and with nature. The residence has wide space for artistic production of any size and media.
The Villa facilitates slow living and serenity, thus space and inspiration to let artistic processes unfold and concise contemplation take place. A space with fertile ground for discourses, about vita contemplativa and activa, a space for temporary communities, a space for interventions and revitalisation. The residents of the Villa mainly live in autonomy and by themselves. The facilities are taken care of by the current group of residents and with the according solicitude. Mindfulness and awareness are constant co-beings and from time to time, the pears need to be harvested from the tree. The residency is in constant transformation, a place in progress, a place of encounters and constant collaboration. Their interest does not lay in what you already have achieved, but in what you want to remain unsure of.

VARC’s primary aims are to: Promote interest, awareness and understanding of visual arts in a rural community through engagement with an artist Develop visual arts projects in rural communities Offer a unique opportunity to an artist wishing to develop his or her practice by working and living in a remote rural community With each residency VARC aims to achieve a balance between the opportunity to the artist to develop and exhibit new work and the opportunity to local people to benefit from the programme of engagement with the artist. Each resident artist develops a body of work for exhibition at the end of the residency and engages with individuals and groups from the area and further afield through workshops, open studio days, artists' talks and other events. VARC looks for artists who feel that twelve months spent living in an isolated rural location will significantly benefit their practice and who enjoy contact with people and want to be part of a community.

Who Cares? is a program supported by Creative Europe focusing on care practices, seeking to permeate through the participating organisations' infrastructure and programmes. The initiators ask: who we are caring for, in order to build in interdependence with the communities with which they develop our activity as art production centres? It is a collaboration of Idensitat (Barcelona), SPACE (London), Rupert (Vilnius), Grey Area (Korcula) and Centro Huarte (Navarra). In the framework of the European project Who Cares? Centro Huarte offers an international residency program for two or more artists that will take place from 1 September to 24 October 2021 . When coming from abroad, the residency may be brought forward or extended with 2 more weeks. This residency will take place in Habitación in Centro Huarte. Habitación is a hybrid project between residency and exhibition, in which artists make use of the work space and it is open to the public on weekends. During the process, the artists will share their work and process also on the Who Cares? website and will get a personalized assessment by a mentor working on the theme they propose. Topics We are looking for a project developed by two artists or more, established as a collective, that explores art as a place for dialogue and exchange of methodologies, delving into care, affects and knowledge transfer. An approach to the local community for the development of the process will be positively valued. Since the possibilities of physical encounters have been radically reduced in the last year, initiatives that understand artistic practice as a tool of collective resistance to go through this period of disruption and social change will be supported. In other words, projects are encouraged to investigate care and affective practices in relation to the current moment we are living. Topics to be addressed may include (but are not limited to): Affective and care networks, in relation to the local area Mental health, psychic pain, social discomfort Adaptation and self-recovery, body capacity Sustainability of life in times of pandemic Art as a generator of other ways of being Economic precariousness, but also affective and emotional precariousness Artistic tools for interpersonal transformation Ways to silence fear and curb hatred The political dimension of affects and emotions Eligibility Two artists or a collective from any field, based in Europe. Preferably fluent in the local languages (Spanish and/or Basque). Exceptionally, a project could be chosen for artists who do not have a knowledge of these languages, but have a great experience in working with collectives. The deadline for submission of proposals is May 27, 2021, at 23:59 (UTC +2). Projects submitted after that time will not be considered. The selection will be communicated within a maximum period of 1 month from the closing date of the call.
