Application guidelines:

Four times a year (March, June, September and December) there is an open call for artists to fill the empty spaces that previous residents have left unused.

The selection committee is integrated by members of SWAP association. They value highly those artistic projects that reflect over the concept of "transformation", specially when it is related to urbanism.

ZWAP has exchange programs with different international institutions and universities. They also offer scholarships and residencies based on thematic calls. For 2021, they offered ESTIBA Scholarships aimed at professionalizing artists and cultural managers and giving dissemination and visibility to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of "in the meantime" or "urban planning in transit." Check their website for calls.

Deadline:
Varies depending on the program. Check their website regularly.
