ELIGIBILITY: professional visual artists (painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, film, video, digital art, performance or interdisciplinary practices) born and based or residing in South America, over 18, not students, who pursue art as their main occupation and can demonstrate professional experience; former residents of Villa Waldberta or Ebenböckhaus are not eligible.
