Must currently work in care or health sector, hold an arts/humanities degree, with active artistic practice.

Joya: BERILO Deadline: 12 Nov 2026 Country: Spain Joya: berilo Joya invites artists of all disciplines who work in the care and health sectors to apply for an annual residency award. We welcome those whose artistic practice is integral to their profession, as well as those who pursue it independently. This invitation expresses our appreciation for those who are devoted to the care and wellbeing of others. At Joya: AiR we understand that such work calls for a depth of empathy that reaches beyond kindness: the ability to meet vulnerability with respect, to remain attentive in difficult circumstances, and to offer reassurance when it is most needed. Many artists belong to this community, whether their artistic practice forms part of their profession or develops alongside it. Joya: berilo honours their contribution by offering time, space and hospitality in which to nurture their creative work. Within the landscape and community of Joya, the residency offers an opportunity to reflect, experiment and develop ideas, giving creative work the sustained attention that everyday responsibilities can make difficult to find. Artists are welcome to pursue work on any subject, with no expectation that their practice should address care or health. Joya: berilo celebrates the life of Beryl Beckmann, who lived to the age of one hundred. As a physiotherapist, she cared deeply about her community and the people she treated. She understood that their needs did not end when treatment did. She established and ran a charity for people recovering from stroke, bringing continued care, companionship and a sense of belonging to those whose UK National Health Service treatment had finished. We wish this award to carry forward something of her generosity and the quiet conviction with which she made care for others part of her life. In her spirit, this residency extends care and consideration to those who offer it to others, recognising and supporting the artistic lives of people whose work enriches their communities. Applications are welcomed from artists of all disciplines who currently work in the care or health sector. Applicants should provide details of their role and place of work, together with supporting evidence of their employment. They must hold a degree in the arts or humanities and demonstrate an active artistic practice through exhibitions, publications, performances or equivalent activity relevant to their discipline. Applicants should apply through the normal Joya: AiR application page, clearly stating that they wish to be considered for the Joya: berilo residency award. The award offers a one-week residency at Joya: AiR, with the residency fee waived in full, providing time and space for creative work within its landscape and community. Each award recipient will also be profiled on the Joya: AiR website and social media, introducing their work to a broad audience. Awardees are responsible for making their own travel arrangements and covering the cost of their journey to and from the residency.
