ALLOCATION OF THE 2018 GRANT FOR RESEARCH IN NEW YORK

The 4th Research Grant has been jointly awarded by the Arquia Foundation and the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Art to conduct a research project in New York City.

The jury unanimously decided to grant the award for the 4th call for applications for the 2018 research grant in New York to:
