Open Call for Artists and Researchers
Agosto Foundation Artist-In-Residence Program
Prague, Czech Republic

*Deadline:* August 15, 2018 for residencies taking place between January 1,
2019 and December 31, 2019
*Conditions: *Artists and researchers receive a private apartment in the
center of Prague for a period of up to 3 months, a grant of approximately
€750 (per month, in Czech currency) to support the proposed project, travel
expenses (limited) and assistance in its implementation.

*Eligibility:* The Foundation encourages and welcomes the participation of
artists, curators and researchers from various backgrounds to apply for the
support of projects which are in line with the mission of the Agosto
Foundation and the declared objectives of the residency.

Through the Agosto Residency Program, the Foundation seeks to create a
context, not restricted solely to artists, for those active in the cultural
realm to step outside of their usual frames of reference and to reach
across disciplines. The aim is to facilitate, support and maintain a
general platform for engaged, creative, adisciplinary (not oriented toward
any one discipline) and exploratory projects. A special focus will be on
artists and specialists whose work has crossed (or implies the crossing of)
the boundaries of their fields (visual art, new media, sound art,
experimental music, literature, etc.) Other interdisciplinary
collaborations or cooperations are welcome to apply, as well.

of the Agosto Foundation and the declared objectives of the residency
