About the Open Call

Since 1993, Fundación Botín has awarded Art Grants each year, aimed at artists of any nationality. Each grant provides funding of 23,000€ and promotes and supports those artists who need resources to carry out a research project or training. The result of this process is displayed in the Itinerarios joint exhibition and in a catalogue. Of the six grants, one will be given in priority to a Spanish artist or resident (at least five years prior) under the age of 30 who has a project to relocate abroad.
