Typically running once or twice a year for a one-month period, the program invites 12 artists to participate in a project-oriented format which culminates in a final exhibition showcasing the artists' work. Each session is themed to encourage artists to engage with relevant and provocative topics, for the 2024 session in Spain, the theme is "scenarios of the future". DOM supports artists by covering accommodation, travel expenses, and the cost of production materials, thus removing financial barriers and fostering an environment purely focused on creative exploration. The selection process for participants is twofold: partially by invitation and partially through an open call, which encourages a diverse mix of artists. DOM values communication and expects artists to engage with the local public through various cultural and educational programs that run concurrently with their studio work. This interaction enriches the residency experience, providing both artists and the public with valuable insights and exchanges.
