Descripción del Premio

Joya: arte + ecología / AiR is an "off-grid" interdisciplinary residency rooted in the crossroads of art, ecology and sustainable living practice. It is located in the heart of the Parque Natural Sierra María - Los Vélez, in the north of the province of Almería, Andalucía. Joya: AiR offers abundant time and space for residents to make, think, explore and learn from their surroundings. Joya: AiR supports a range of disciplines including, but not limited to, visual art, writing, music, dance, curatorial and film. Founded by Simon and Donna Beckmann in 2009, the Joya: arte + ecología / AiR programme is grounded in the foundation that dynamic and sustainable creative activity is the backbone to regenerating the land that has been slowly abandoned over the last fifty years. Since 2009, Joya: AiR has welcomed over 700 artists and creatives to realise their projects within one of the most unique and beautiful regions of the country. This is one of the sunniest regions of Europe receiving over 3000 hours of sunlight a year. Residents have access to studio space and 20 hectares of land. Accommodation (private room with attached bathroom) and meals are included, as is collection and return to the nearest public transport system. Selected artists are invited to contribute to the Joya: artists listing and are asked to contribute a small text outlining the nature of their practice whilst in residency. This will be posted to the Joya: website along with a link to the artists website. ( examples are to be found here) Selected artists are requested to make a presentation of their work to other artists in residence during their period at Joya: AiR. This is not obligatory but it does contribute to the overall experience of all artists in residence. Joya’s working languages are English and Spanish. DISCIPLINES AND MEDIA: Interdisciplinary: Visual Art / Sculpture / Ceramics (enquire before applying) / Dance / Theatre / Performing Arts / Music / Writing / Educational Programmes / New Media / Curatorial / Film Making / TYPE OF ORGANISATION: Independent not for profit association/foundation APPLICATION: Joya: AiR is currently accepting applications in Spanish and English only. RESIDENCY PERIOD: The length of the residency would be 1 to 2 weeks (longer periods are available) NOTE* the experience of previous resident artists strongly indicates that a two week residency is much more preferable and productive than one. NEXT APPLICATION DEADLINE: SUNDAY THE 17TH OF NOVEMBER 2019 RESIDENCY PERIOD: 6TH JANUARY - 29TH MARCH 2020
