At the end of their stay, the artists will organize an exhibition of their works at the EFA (Elizabeth Foundation of the Arts) exhibition spaces in Manhattan or at other institutions in Manhattan or Brooklyn.
To participate in the call, applicants must be Italian citizens residing in Italy, born after December 31, 1989, have adequate knowledge of the English language, work in the field of visual arts, and have held at least one solo exhibition.
