Visitas Calamar. Visits to artists' studios
Artists' studios in Madrid
What?
Visitas Calamar is a program designed for resident curators in Madrid who want to visit artists' studios in Madrid
How?
hablarenarte: will organize with different artists some visits to their studios. Afterwards, hablarenarte: will invite curators who consider that the activity may interest them to participate in these visits.
When?
The visits will take place monthly, trying to be programmed in the first week of each month.
Why?
The program is designed as an informal activity that aims to promote contact between curators and artists. The best way to know about new projects of resident artists in Madrid is by visiting their workplaces.
Who?
Although there is not public call and the invitation to curators is made directly by hablarenarte:, the program is open to any cultural programmer or curator who wants to join us. We will try to organize groups not too numerous for a comfortable visit for both curators and artists (if many people are interested we can programme two visits).
