About the Open Call

SAC International Curatorial Residency Program 2026 is the residency program at Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Contemporani, in collaboration with Fabra i Coats – Fàbrica de Creació de Barcelona, available to international curators. As part of the program, we are announcing an open call for proposals to choose an international curator who will be part of the Miquel Casablancas Prize for the Visual Arts’ jury in 2026, and will later develop a curatorial project with a selection of catalan artists chosen from applicants to the prize. The project must be presented at the country of residence of the curator or in another international venue that accepts it. The purpose of the open call is to offer the curator personal knowledge of the art context through involvement in the jury of the Miquel Casablancas Prize, and to foster, in the context of young art talent, future collaborations between local and foreign cultural actors. For reasons of sustainability and resource requirements, the geographical scope contemplated for the proposals is Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa.

The residency covers the expenses of jurying the prize and for the curatorial proposal (2,000 € subject to applicable taxes), the management and production costs of the exhibition (2,000 € subject to applicable taxes), accommodation and travel.
