COSTS

The Residency has a minimum duration of 1 month, in which the artists will have to develop the proposed research or production project. The Residency can also be planned for a longer period, which must be indicted at the time of application to the Residency.

The Residency Fee is 2,250 Euros per month. The Residency Fee includes studio space, curatorial process, production and administrative support. The Residency Fee does not include costs of travel, accommodation, production or materials, shipping, or insurance.

All the participating artists will have to provide funds for the Residency Fee and additional costs, such as: travel, insurance, accommodation, food, materials and production.

NOTE: If the artist applies and obtains the grant offered by the Palm Foundation, the artist will receive $750 US Dollars, which will reduce the cost of the residency. >> See information on THE PALM FOUNDATION GRANT below:

FUNDING

Applicants to the Residency Program are encouraged to seek grants for professional development and mobility from their home countries. A selected funding database is available on the MOMENTUM and LAGOS websites. Successful applicants selected for the Residency Program will receive a letter of invitation and other documentation they may need in order to apply for funding.

Thanks to the generous support of the Palm Foundation, we can offer 20 grants of up to $750 US Dollars to offset part of the costs of the Residency Program. The procedure for receiving this grant is as follows:

Once the artist is accepted for the Residency Program and wants to apply for the Palm Foundation Grant, the artist will have to sign an agreement accepting the terms of the grant, namely: the production of 3-5 NFTs, which may be exhibited by the Palm Foundation, with the possibility of sales through the Palm Network, with all proceeds going to the artist, except for the marketplace fee, if applicable.

Before starting the Residency the artist pays in advance the full amount of the Residency Fee. Upon delivery of the 3-5 NFTs, the artist will receive the 750 US Dollar grant as a reimbursement of their costs.

In addition, each artist will select one of their NFTs to submit into a competition in which the winner, selected through a Palm Creator Collective vote, will receive an additional $500 Dollar grant from the Palm Foundation.

Upon request, we can assist our Artist-in-Residence in finding accommodation in both locations.
