In its programme of cultural activities, the Iberê Camargo Foundation organises the annual Iberê Camargo Grant, with the aim of offering Brazilian artists a foreign residency at important visual arts institutions.

The Grant reaches its 10th edition in 2010, having already offered 14 artists opportunities to become involved in cultural and artistic work at the London Print Studio, England; Cité Internationale des Arts and École de Beaux-Art in Rennes, France; Art Institute of Chicago and Blanton Museum of Art / The University of Texas at Austin, USA; Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros and Galeria Garash, Mexico; RIAA / Residencia Internacional de Artistas en Argentina and El Basilisco space in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Maus Hábitos / Espaço de Intervenção Artística, in Portugal. Partnerships are renewed and new ones organised each year, offering new destinations.

Artists are chosen from throughout Brazil by open competition, in which each artist writes a specific project. Selection is carried out by a panel of nationally representative artists and curators who chose the artists for the residency, plus ten artists who will be highlighted in the Digital Magazine on the Foundation’s website, and one artist to take part in the Print Studio Invited Artist Programme.
