PRE-ARRIVAL LOCAL PROJECT ORIENTATION.

The Artists-in-Residence benefit from guidance for their artistic project before their arrival in Madrid, Spain and/or Havana, Cuba.

All requests for guidance must be submitted at least sixty (60) days before the start of the program. With the acceptance of the Artist, information on the processing of orientation requests will be provided.

ORIENTATION COORDINATOR.

During the Residency program, the bilingual Orientation Coordinator (English / Spanish) will inform Residents about their requests for orientation to carry out their artistic project in Madrid/Cuba. The Orientation Coordinator will also advise the Residents about other local information they may need.

Remember that the Artists carry out a self-directed and independent project; the Orientation Coordinator is not a fixer.
