Artist residency in Spain, Faberllull program
ViceVersa is a program for international training of literary translators launched in 2010 by the German Translator Fund and the Robert Bosch Stiftung, and funded by the German Foreign Office. It enables the realization of bilingual translators’ workshops with participants of a specific language pair, always including German.
Over 70 workshops in 30 different German-foreign language constellations have been funded with many international partners – a strong impetus for the international translator scene and an indispensable forum for the discussion and further development of quality standards in literary translation.
In partnership with Institut Ramon Llull, both institutions have worked together to offer the first workshop with German and Catalan. So, next September will take place in Residency FaberLlull Olot a Literary Translation Seminar for literary translators from German to Catalan and from Catalan to German. The multi-day workshops create an ideal discussion space for the intricacies of literary translation. Participants receive qualified feedback on their own work and establish working relationships with colleagues from the countries of the language from which they translate.

Art residency in Spain, Airguiniguada program
In order to be able to slow down life, we believe it is worth breaking our routines from time to time – this is why artist-in-residencies have spread as a way of enhancing creativity through (re)settling our minds. Our idea was that the notion of the AIR could be expanded by not having artists exclusively at the specific location, but enabling them to mix with academic researchers. We believe heterogeneity always helps, thus, the more people could broaden their comprehensions of their worlds, the better for humankind!
We offer the artist / researcher resident community, or solitude if you please, in a bold vast space that invites for musing, far away from buzzing crowds, and still within easy reach, in an unconquerable castle, a landscape straight out of a fairy-tale, in one of the world’s best climates by common consensus. On the other hand, we are not about consumer comfort; those who like to stay with us prefer to get one step closer to nature – both their own physique and the outside, non-artificial environment – and are not wary of adventure.
This is why we start our venture in this house, not for too many persons, and not for too few (max number of guests vary between 4 and 8). Our goal is to host, in this hybridised form of staying, people who are ready to leave the routines of their home behind and spend time in our company thinking, working, relaxing, discussing in our house.
Duration of residency
The duration of this residency program is minimum two weeks.
Accommodation
The house is an ‘organic’ type – this means by local standards it had been used first as a series of caves, since unknown times, and the previous owners enlarged it step by step in the directions where the rocky hillside has permitted. The residency area starts above our apartment; consisting of four rooms. Each room is separate, they do not open from each other. A shared kitchen and various terraces are at your disposal, a shared bathroom for the three ateliers, and a separate one for the fourth room.

Art residency in Spain for international artists-Isla de Crear
Who are we?
Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of different disciplines in order to explore creating and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto. We are open to people of all ages and backgrounds, and only ask that you have a keen interest in pro-actively seeking the strange and unique connections, through interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
The centre is located in Úbeda, in the Jaén region of Andalusia, southern Spain, where the sun is out 300 days of the year, in the middle of the Sea of Olives, with no neighbours for miles, but we are by a main road (so it can get noisy sometimes), just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and a lot of cultural events.
The art residency call out
For our second call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives from all different fields to explore the theme: MYTH
We are purposefully keeping the theme as broad as possible, and encourage you to think as tangentially as possible. We are not looking for the same ol’ works, but instead want to encourage all our visiting creatives to challenge themselves into doing new things and exploring new forms.
We are particularly interested in people who wish to work with found objects and repurpose them, as our junk yard is full of materials, but we are open to all forms of creations: visual, performative, audible, theoretical, scholarly, written, etc.
Duration of residency
Between 4-12 weeks.
In your application, please make sure to specify when you would like to come and for how long

We also have a woodworking workshop. The machinery can only be used by people with the relevant experience at dedicated hours.

we are limited with how much we can offer.
If you would like to come but can’t afford the participation fee, we are open to the possibility of you donating skills that can be useful to the centre. Please include in your application a statement (not more than 500 words) about why you are unable to contribute towards your stay.

Art residency in Fine art in Spain, Canari island for artists worldwide
The Electro-etching workshop–residency introduces the artist to an alternative technique of intaglio etching, using a completely non-toxic electrical process. It offers one of the healthiest and most fascinating methods for etching copper, zinc, and iron plates. Among its many other advantages, the electro-etching process does not generate toxic gases, nor does it generate metalic residue that acumulates in the grooves and stops the etching. The mordant does not become exhausted by successive bites and it does not undercut the metal under the varnish. It completely eliminates the harmful spray from rosin or asphalt for aquatints. This techniques allows for a wide range of tonal effects, a surprisingly clean bite, increased control, all while minimizing the risk to the both the printmaker and the environment.
The electro-etching residency is held at the workshop and residence of the artist Alfonso Crujera, a master printmaker and specialist in the varied techniques of etching with electrolysis.
The residence is a traditional coastal farmhouse, lovingly restored by the artist. From the naturally lit studio, the residence and the balconies, you can enjoy the magnificent panorama of the sea and surrounding farmland. The area has a very pleasant and moderate subtropical climate all year round, with average temperatures ranging between 12-28ºC. In this natural environment, perfect for reflection and creativity, the artist has transformed the workshop into a workspace that is free from toxic emissions and respectful toward the environment.
The resident artists will be introduced to the fascinating process of electro-etching copper or zinc plates instead of using traditional acids. They will have access to the master’s direct, personal assistance and will get the opportunity to develop upon their current knowledge of non-toxic etching using electricity and applying these techniques to their own work. The artist will also learn how to assemble an electro-etching unit themselves, so they will be able to continue electro-etching in their own studios back home. The workshop is available to the resident artists round the clock.
