'The Arts Tasmania Claudio Alcorso International Residency program is offered in partnership with the Alcorso Foundation and supports individual artists working in any artform to undertake self-directed residencies and professional development opportunities overseas.
'The residency will invest in creative excellence and support recipients to develop leadership capabilities. Arts Tasmania and the Alcorso Foundation encourage applications that focus on quality international creative and cultural exchange which will add value to the social and cultural fabric of Tasmania's community. The intention of the residency is to stimulate and extend the practice of Tasmanian artists through accessing new knowledge or skills and for the recipients to then disseminate their experiences with others on their return to Tasmania.'
