Official inquiries
Who can participate?
The open call is aimed at emerging artists from all countries, with no geographic restrictions, aged 19 to 30 inclusive as of the application closing date, who are actively developing their artistic practice and are in the early stages of their careers.
Fundacion BRAVA especially seeks to provide means, resources, and opportunities to artists who, due to their circumstances, face economic barriers to professional development. In this context, the quality, uniqueness, and potential of the work will be valued.
In final evaluations, the jury will consider the context in which the artist develops their practice, their production to date, coherence, and evolution; as well as the conditions and opportunities they have had to develop that practice and the potential for future qualitative growth.
