Writer in Residence
INTERNATIONAL ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS
During the residence period the artist or writer undertakes a creative project which has been previously proposed to the institution and has gone through a selection process. In addition, the resident can offer readings, conferences, workshops and/or any cultural activity with the host institution. A writer-in-residence program follows organized application process and deadlines, as well as a selection process.
