How the aid program works

How the aid program works

The program is organized in several stages that accompany your project from the application to public activities.

The grant programme operates by open call, being published annually on the Foundation's website and on its channels. The bases explain requirements, deadlines and documentation. Applications are submitted online using a dedicated form.
Grants of €20,000 for individual artists and €25,000 for collectives, to support artistic processes in different phases, from research to the production of work.
The selected projects have access to one year of accompaniment by a mentoring team. The grant program seeks to strengthen a learning community around Art to Come and has Soledad Gutiérrez and Violeta Janeiro as associate curators.
Each project selected within the grant programme develops a programme of activities adapted to its nature and context, with at least three opening moments.

Tórtola Valencia, pienso en ti con mis manos

Lara Brown

This work is a tribute to the dancer Carmen Tórtola Valencia, her partner Àngels Magret-Vila, and to all the stories and artistic practices we long to encounter when searching for references that affirm us in the present and in the part of History we are called to inhabit, offering us coordinates for remaining within it.

Fresco como reunión

Noa Castro Lema, Lara Castro Lema, Cristóbal García-Belmont, Adi Blaustein Rejto y Rahe Goetsch

Fresco como reunión seeks to offer both the local neighbourhood and the artistic community an opportunity to learn fresco painting as a unique tool for community-building, the creation of spaces, and critical learning.

El vibrar de lo posible

Massimiliano Casu

This is an itinerant community-based creation project. In times of disenchantment, it explores the possibility of reawakening our capacity to imagine and build other configurations of the world through magic and sound.

SOLFEGGIO

Fito Conesa

This proposal is a research project on the role of music in accompanying processes of dying and palliative care. Drawing on musicology, art, and neuroscience, it explores how sound and vibration affect the body and perception beyond listening.

Les Güelgues

Sara García

Les Güelgues is an exercise in interweaving, sheltering, and healing through the senses: ingestion, touch, and smell. The project explores the poetic sensitivities and ecopolitical gestures involved in the act of eating and sharing from a multispecies perspective.

Heridas de agua

Carlos Monleón

Heridas de Agua is a choral work that embodies a hydropoetics of memory, giving voice to past territorial conflicts and future hydrological challenges from the present-day perspective of bodies of water such as dams, rivers, and aquifers.

Minus One Film

Mar Reykjavik

Minus One Film is a filmmaking process that explores singing, translation, and performativity as forms of collectively rewriting popular culture, creating situations in which voices and bodies reinterpret songs to inscribe their own singularity and repertoire.

Colección independiente

Juf (Leto Ybarra y Beatriz Ortega Botas)

Juf will test what an independent space can uniquely contribute to an art collection. To do so, it proposes an independent, generative, and itinerant collection characterised by a promiscuous mix of styles, periods, artefacts, and forms.

Public aid programme 2026/2027

Practices of the common

The Art to Come grant programme unfolds and thinks through the selected projects, generating spaces for reflection based on research, its complexity, and moments of openness. In addition to this edition, there is a series of monthly meetings that are designed from a common perspective with the artists that takes place in the places where the projects are developed. This programme was born as an exercise in openness and an invitation to imagine collectively from them.

In this first edition of the public program, topics that are both intrinsic to the projects and transversal to them will be addressed. The proposals move through different ways of understanding artistic creation as a form of shared transmission, rooted in territories, popular knowledge and community participation to explore issues of archive, representation and memory: what is preserved, what is left out and the possibilities of imagining the gaps in history. We will also open spaces for research guided by sensory experiences in which we will deal with issues related to mourning, reparation and coexistence between humans and more-than-humans to rehearse forms of survival in common.

The public program will feature the participation of the selected artists and collectives: Carlos Monleón, Fito Conesa, Juf, Lara Brown, Las Frescas, Massimiliano Casu, Mar Reijkiavik and Sara García as well as guests such as Cabello/Carceller, Ismael Clemente and Isabelle Sully, among others.

Prácticas de lo común: presencias, ausencias, archivos y huecos

Viernes, 25 de septiembre de 2026

Sala Marina de Infinito Delicias a las 19.00h Lara Brown con Cabello/Carceller Conversatorio con Lara Brown y Cabello/Carceller a propósito del archivo de Tórtola Valencia, bailarina, coreógrafa y artista transgresora que desafió los modelos hegemónicos de la danza y la feminidad de su época. A partir de sus investigaciones y prácticas, las artistas exploran memorias, cuerpos, gestos y formas de representación que han quedado fuera de los relatos dominantes, en un ejercicio de construcción de una genealogía disidente.

Prácticas de lo común: el vibrar de lo posible

Miércoles, 7 de octubre de 2026

Auditorio de Infinito Delicias a las 19.30h Massimiliano Casu con Ismael Clemente Ismael Clemente y Massimiliano Casu presentan una conferencia performativa y sesión de escucha en torno a sonido ritual, artefactos de magia sonora popular y tradiciones ancestrales. Concebida como un ensayo sonoro en vivo, una conferencia polifónica o un concierto hablado, la propuesta explora el vasto acervo de las tradiciones mágicas populares del sur de Europa. Conjuros, cantos protectores, campanas, cascabeles y cencerros trazan un camino entre estas prácticas y las urgencias del presente.

Prácticas de lo común: una charla informal sobre legados, memoria y estructuras independientes

Miércoles, 11 de noviembre de 2026

Sala Marina de Infinito Delicias a las 19:00h Juf con Isabelle Sully En esta conversación abordaremos cómo construir modelos institucionales independientes, qué significa cuidar el legado y cómo habitar las fisuras de la memoria y la representación colectiva a través de la creación de una colección de arte contemporáneo. Partiendo de la investigación actual de Isabelle Sully sobre los legados de artistas desde una práctica feminista, abordaremos como las decisiones administrativas y curatoriales pueden convertirse en herramientas de imaginación política.
