FAQ

How is country matching done?

We combine physical venue location, organizer country, city references, and program eligibility (not just keyword searches in titles) to give you the most accurate pool.

Do I need to speak the local language of Spain?

In 90% of international programs, English is sufficient. If the organizers require local language skills, we list this clearly in the requirements section.

Do grants in Spain cover visa and travel costs?

This varies. Fully funded opportunities and residencies often cover travel expenses or provide travel grants, while others only fund local accommodation.

Can artists from any country apply to programs in Spain?

Most listed opportunities are open internationally. Any citizenship or residency restrictions are structured and highlighted on the program card.

Which art organizations in Spain are most active?

We aggregate programs from leading art academies, museums, private galleries, and non-profit spaces. You can filter by organization type in your dashboard.
