Fondazione Campania Welfare is launching the second round of OASis In the Park. The residency is based at Parco San Laise, a former NATO base in Bagnoli, Naples, currently undergoing a gradual process of social and cultural regeneration.
The OASis operates as a diffused platform across multiple spaces within the park, combining artistic creation, community engagement, and social activation. OASis in the Park will take place between September and October 2026, with each selected artist staying for approximately two weeks within that period.
Applicants will need to propose concrete ideas; activities may include workshops, co-creation sessions, personal artistic but community-based projects, training initiatives, or other artistic interventions. The focus is on generating meaningful engagement and producing specific outputs relevant to the local context.
The organisers welcome artists interested in developing participatory, socially engaged practices with strong educational and/or community-focused components. While they particularly encourage applications from artists interested in working with children, youth, and local communities, they also welcome submissions from artists working on projects of broader social relevance to the Bagnoli area and wider community regeneration. The residency will focus on a wide range of artistic fields, including:
- Filmmaking and audiovisual media
- Photography
- Visual arts (sculpture, street art, graffiti, painting)
- Textile, fashion and material practices
- Music and sound
- AI-based artistic production
- Spatial design and installation art
- Lighting design and light-based practices
- Interior and community-oriented design
- Illustration and graphic arts
The project provides an artist fee of 1,300 EUR, travel, meals, accommodation, and production costs.
