Fabrica Interactive is calling for applications from young artists and designers to join them for a one year residency in Treviso, Italy.

Fabrica is the Benetton Research and Development Communication Centre. Led by an international team, Fabrica is an applied creativity laboratory, a talent incubator, a studio of sorts in which young modern artists come from all over the world to develop innovative projects and explore new directions in a variety of areas including design, music, film, photography, publishing and the Internet.

Fabrica is currently offering residencies to artists, designers and creative engineers under 25 years old. Applicants must be able to conceive, design, prototype and build engaging and innovative experiences.

Successful applicants will work with a multidisciplinary and multinational team of designers in Fabrica’s research centre in Treviso, Italy under the creative direction of Andy Cameron.

Fabrica offers bursaries to successful applicants. The bursary includes travel to Fabrica, as well as accommodation, living expenses and a small grant.

Fabrica does not offer a program of tuition and is appropriate for self motivated artists and designers who have already completed their studies. However, Fabrica holds a number of workshops per year for residents lead by high profile international artists and designers. Previous workshop leaders have included Bruce Sterling, Golan Levin, Yugo Nakamura, Casey Reas and Amy Franceschini.

This is an ongoing opportunity.
