The SAC International Curatorial Residency Program seeks proposals from art curators

The internationally recognized SAC International Curatorial Residency Program 2026, hosted by Barcelona’s Sant Andreu Contemporani in collaboration with Fabra i Coats – Fàbrica de Creació de Barcelona, is open to international curators. This open call invites proposals from candidates interested in serving on the jury of the 2026 Miquel Casablancas Prize for the Visual Arts, followed by the development of a curatorial project featuring a selection of Catalan artists drawn from the prize applicants. The resulting exhibition must be presented either in the curator’s country of residence or at another international venue willing to host it. An international selection committee will review applications based on the curator’s background and portfolio to identify the strongest candidate, who will receive €2,000 to cover jurying expenses as well as exhibition management and production costs.

The SAC International Curatorial Residency Program 2026 is hosted by Sant Andreu Contemporani (SAC) in collaboration with Fabra i Coats – Fàbrica de Creació de Barcelona. Sant Andreu Contemporani, based in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona, is a public initiative dedicated to supporting emerging visual-art talent through exhibitions, residencies, and professional development programs. Fabra i Coats, a municipal creative centre established in a renovated textile factory, has operated since 2012 as a hub for research, production, and promotion of contemporary arts, providing workspaces, training, and resources to artists, collectives, and cultural practitioners. Together, these institutions aim to foster international artistic exchange, nurture emerging talent, and support innovative curatorial and artistic projects.
