Call for Entries for Artists - Artist Residency

The Boynes Emerging Artist Award, which is an international artist-run art competition, has partnered, for the 7th Edition, with the Rural Residency for Contemporary Art (RUC). This is an art residency that is based in the Valcamonica Valley in the Italian Alps.

This partnership provides the 1st Place, 2nd Place and 3rd Place winners with the opportunity to participate in a month-long fully-funded artist residency. Artists will be able to connect with nature and their art, explore the history, culture, mountains, and nature of Valcamonica while enjoying the idyllic beauty and quiet of the mountains at villa RUC.

As Italy’s first UNESCO world heritage site for its prehistoric rock engravings, the valley and surrounding mountains are rich with beauty and history. The RUC Artist Residency Program will host, at the same time and together, the first (1st), second (2nd) and third (3rd) place winners in the 7th Edition of the Boynes Emerging Artist Award for a one (1) month residency from the 1st August 2023 to the 31st August, 2023.
