CALL FOR ARTISTS 2023

“ARTISTIC RESIDENCY IN VAL DI LEDRO”

RESIDENCY:

The art residency will be held between June 12th and June 26th.

The cultural association Encontrarte, in collaboration with the council of Ledro and Ledro’s Alpine Natural Reserves Network, are now searching for two new artwork projects that will be placed along Ledro Land Art’s artistic walk next to the Assat river, leading all the way to Malga Cita, in Pur.

Ledro Land Art is an artistic walk in a natural area whose inspiring priciples and goals are the integration between art and nature, the relationship between humans and nature, respect for the environment, the landscape discovery and its bonds with the territory’s history and traditions.

The selected works will be realized partially or totally on the spot and inserted along the park’s walking path. The’ll be exposed to atmospheric conditions and seasons, determining changes and progressive deterioration of the artworks. Given that the works are frequently transient in nature, every art piece in Ledro Land Art is professionally documented through audio-video interviews, work-in-progress and photoes (at our association’s expense) which will be available on the website.  www.ledrolandart.eu

All artists or groups of artists who are eighteen years old on the date of registration can participate in the selection.

In order to participate, the project must be sent by 30 April 2023 to the following e-mail address: [email protected]

If the terms of the realization of the artworks are not respected, the artist will have to find a new accomodation independently.

The payment will be received only after the work is completed and insepected by the commission, to ensure that the intervention is carried out as planned in the approved project.
