The Peace Room/Spring 2026 scholarship

Siena Art Institute

Einreichfrist: 23. November 2025
The Peace Room is an interdisciplinary project and an innovative pilot academic programme developed by the Siena Art Institute to investigate the relationship between intercultural dynamics and local experiences, personal connections and international relations. The Peace Room is partitioned in modules, each directed by a separate Lead Artist and teacher:
  • Art & Society
  • Art & Memory
  • Art & Mycorrhiza
The interdisciplinary project will facilitate the development of site-specific and community engagement art practices by art students in dialogue with professional artists, architects, artisans, educational institutions and museums, leading to the creation of a collaborative public event that will constitute the Peace Room.
Open Call for 4 young future artists with the following traits:
  • Are currently enrolled in University-level art courses or are recent graduates (graduated no earlier than January 2024)
  • Have a good understanding and command of the English language, as most classes and activities at the Siena Art Institute will be led in English
  • Are interested in learning Italian to more directly engage in the local community
  • Are able to study and work in a multilingual, multicultural environment where collaboration with people from all backgrounds and nationalities is encouraged
