2025 OPEN CALL THEME
Villa Filanda Antonini launches the Spring Open Call to select 1-2 professionals or artists for a two-month residency in February-March 2025. The Open Call aims to collect proposals and art projects relevant to the theme “Nourish,” focusing on art practices to feed, to care for the environment and people. The term “Nourish” derives from the Latin verb “nūtrīre,” meaning “to feed” or “to care for.” The goal of the residency is to foster togetherness through a participative workshop and an interactive art installation/project that actively engage the local community.
