The recently renovated, Convent of the Arts, proposes 2017 as the start-up of an artistic program dedicated to the international exchange of residency artists'.
The project is an initiative set-up by the Convent of the Arts in Alcover, in collaboration with Associazione Artéco, with the main objective of supporting contemporary artistic research.
The residency fits perfectly with the spirit of the building, which was a convent, as a way to encourage interaction between artistic practices in all areas of expression, and also take on those of  the host country. In this case, in Catalonia and the cultural village of Alcover, located in Alt Camp.
The artistic philosophy actioned within the project is aimed at promoting and encouraging moments of meeting for a creative and rewarding exchange with the region.
Region is understood as a structured set of things, articulated and complex and constituted by tangible and intangible heritage. That is, the environment, culture and traditions, as well as the local community and their collective thoughts.
The resident artist will be invited to collect information, and take the same approach to the proposed project, interaction with the region, on the one hand and on the other, if appropriate, participation of community inhabitants. Sharing the creative discourse itself and the work process, which is free and open to public access, in any case and at any time.
