The Art to Come programme enters its second phase of project selection

A total of 24 projects have been pre-selected for the second phase of the Art to Come programme, the creative aid plan that the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation promotes as a commitment to strengthening the artistic fabric. In the face of the challenges posed by our society, we seek to support proposals focused on creating new, fairer and more inclusive horizons with the potential for inspiration and social transformation.

Following the call launched in November 2024 to creatorsand groups from various disciplines such as architecture, plastic arts, visual arts, living arts, sound art, cinema, dance, music, theatre and others, we have received a total of 1,195 projects, a number that has exceeded all our forecasts and of which we also want to emphasise the high quality of the proposals.

It has been a joy to see the wealth of initiatives in the artistic fabric and, in view of the number and level shown, the Foundation has decided to increase the number of finalists from the 15 initially planned, to a total of 24 candidacies as pre-selected for this second phase. The process will lead to the choice of between six and eight projects, which will receive funding of 20,000 euros (25,000 in the case of groups) each, in addition to a year-long support plan to facilitate the development of their proposals.

In this first stage, the committee has selected a total of 24 very diverse projects – ten women, ten men and four collectives – which correspond to different artistic disciplines: visual and/or audiovisual arts; sculpture; sound art; performing arts; dance; performance; literature; architecture…

To address the second stage of the call, €600 is awarded to the shortlisted projects to develop their proposal in greater detail in accordance with the technical requirements, lines of work, methodologies, formats, budget, calendar and other aspects that will be reviewed by an independent jury that will announce its resolution at the end of next April.

The Art to Come programme was created to contribute to imagining new futures in which art and culture, through a solid artistic fabric with the capacity to create tools and possible scenarios of impact on society at a time of discouragement and uncertainty. It is not intended to be a prize or a grant of scholarships, but to provide aid so that the projects of these artists and collectives, in their different phases, can grow and unfold all their possibilities for social transformation.
