Delfina Foundation, in partnership with El Espacio 23/Jorge M. Pérez Collection, has announced a new open call for Latin American and Caribbean artists based in the region or from related diasporic communities living in the United States.
From this year’s open call, two artists will be selected for twelve-week residencies: one for the autumn 2026 season and one for the winter 2027 season.
Supported by Jorge M. and Darlene Pérez, this initiative will create four fully funded residencies over the next two years from countries of Latin America and the Caribbean that have been underrepresented in Delfina Foundation’s programme. A second open call will be launched at a later date to appoint two further residencies.
This open call is directed towards Latin American and Caribbean artists from countries that have been underrepresented in Delfina Foundation’s recent programmes. Artists from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and Argentina have benefited from dedicated residencies over the last two years. To ensure this opportunity benefits a wider range of Latin American and Caribbean communities, artists living in those countries are not eligible to apply through this call. There are no exclusions for Latin American and Caribbean artists living in the United States.
The selected applicant will receive a twelve-week residency at Delfina Foundation, including:
- A return economy-class flight
- Airport transfers in the UK
- Reimbursement of visa fee (if required)
- A living allowance of 40 GBP per day
- A materials budget of 1,200 GBP
- Local travel pass
- A single bedroom at Delfina Foundation
- Opportunities to engage in the art scene in UK through structured activities and independent time
- Access to a programme of planned group activities
