Delfina Foundation is an independent, non-profit foundation dedicated to facilitating artistic exchange and developing creative practice through residencies, partnerships and public programming. Founded in 2007, it creates opportunities for emerging and established artists, curators and writers to reflect on their work, situate their practices within relevant global discourse, undertake career-defining research and commissions, and build professional networks. It also fosters international collaborations, creating shared platforms to incubate, present and discuss common practices and themes.
The Delfina house is open to the public only during programmed exhibitions and events.
