Villa Romana Residency in Florence for Roma Contemporary Artists 2026

The European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC) and Villa Romana are offering an artistic residency program in Florence for a contemporary artist of Roma origin. This one-month residency, taking place in October or November 2026, provides a dedicated space for artistic research, production, and dialogue. The selected artist will receive a guest room at Villa Romana, a monthly stipend of €1,000, and covered travel expenses. The program aims to support the professional development of Roma artists and contribute to the broader recognition of Roma contemporary art, encouraging projects attentive to the agency of communities and members of the Roma diaspora through socially engaged artistic practices.
