Art Baniana announces its second call for projects to be developed in the town's public spaces, as part of the "II Art Baniana Artist Residency". Selected artists will participate in "micro-residencies," living in the town for one week to develop their proposed project.

  
**The theme for this edition revolves around the work of the artist Paco Ariza Arca.**

  
Art Baniana was created with the aim of promoting, disseminating, and elevating the value of contemporary art in its various forms in the municipality of Baena (Córdoba, Spain).

  
Our main pillars are muralism and public space interventions, as well as other projects related to contemporary art. Urban art has a notable presence in Baena, and this call aims to further enhance it, generating works in the aforementioned modalities.

  
We believe it is crucial for contemporary art in its various forms to naturally integrate into the context in which it is executed.

  
Baena boasts a distinctive historic quarter with peculiar architecture and regulations mandating a specific color palette for all buildings, both public and private, as well as guidelines for construction and the use of materials in public spaces. These regulations aim to maintain visual, historical, and architectural harmony. Artists applying for this call must be aware of this and act accordingly.

The residency consists of micro-residencies lasting up to one week (7 days). A total of six residencies will be held, starting in March 2025\. Residencies are available for the months of March, April, and May 2025\. During the residency, two days will be dedicated to visiting local tourist, historical, and cultural resources, which will serve as a complement to the final project and provide context for the artist’s integration during their stay.

  
* Each selected proposal will receive €1,200 (VAT included) for the developed project.
* Transportation and material costs are included in the financial allocation.
* Necessary infrastructure for project execution will be provided by the organization (e.g., cranes, scaffolding, workshop).
* Accommodation is provided during the residency period (maximum of 7 days) at the "Ruta del Califato Hostel," located in the Almedina neighborhood.
* Meals (lunch and dinner) will be provided during the residency (maximum of 7 days).
