The AC/E Programme for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture (PICE) promotes and facilitates the international presence of the Spanish creative and cultural sector.
This programme prioritizes emerging proposals from the creative sector that require international projection and reflect the plurality of contemporary culture. The PICE promotes Spanish culture by facilitating the inclusion of Spanish artists and creators, as well as those residing in Spain, in the programming of international cultural events.
The PICE is articulated in three lines of support: Visitors, Mobility, and Residencies. All of them are granted under a co-financing scheme with the beneficiary entities and their call is open and continuous, with periodic resolutions.
→ PICE VISITORS. Allows agents and programmers from leading foreign cultural entities, both public and private, to travel and/or participate online in events in Spain and learn about the creative offer to incorporate it into their programs. It can only be requested by a Spanish entity.
→ PICE MOBILITY. Aims to enable foreign cultural entities to include Spanish artists, professionals, and creators in their programming. To this end, it offers a financial incentive. It can only be requested by foreign cultural entities and institutions.
→ PICE RESIDENCIES. Its objective is to encourage cultural entities to incorporate Spanish artists, professionals, and creators or those residing in Spain into their residency programs. It has three modalities: support for creators in international residencies, support for creators in national residencies, and support for the exchange of national and international artists in international and national residencies, respectively.

The PICE map is an interactive platform that maps the Program for the Internationalization of Spanish Culture since its beginnings in 2013. It allows you to explore the modalities of 'Mobility' and 'Visitors'. It shows the geographic scope of the PICE program through the application of temporal and geographic filters; in addition to having a search engine that allows you to make queries with different criteria.

In this video we explain how this handy tool works:
PICE Residencies aims to encourage cultural entities to include Spanish artists, professionals and cultural creators in their residency programmes in order to increase their training, professional experience, visibility, mobility and international networks, as well as acquire new technical knowledge, develop research in a specific space or work on their own works or creations. In the case of PICE Residencies, one year has been established as the maximum period of duration accepted in each call.
