International Writing Fellowship Sponsored by Fundación Loewe
With the aim of contributing to excellence in artistic creation, inspiring and promoting experimentation and the convergence of the creative languages of literature and the visual arts, the Museum temporarily becomes a host for living writing through Writing the Prado. International Writing Fellowship sponsored by the Loewe Foundation. Each year the Museo Nacional del Prado invites two internationally renowned writers for stays of between three weeks and two months. The writer is provided with a workplace and has access to the workshops, library, collection rooms, and spaces reserved for the Museum's professional teams. He/she has the opportunity to be in daily contact with curators, technicians, restorers and the rest of workers of the museum as well as visitors.
