Subject: Selection Confirmation and Administrative Steps: Valparaíso Artist-in-Residence Program

Dear Resident,

We are pleased to confirm your acceptance into the Valparaíso Artist-in-Residence Program for the upcoming fall semester. To finalize your participation, you must log in to the candidate portal and upload a copy of your valid passport and your international health insurance policy no later than July 25.

Additionally, to process your travel stipend of $1,500 USD, you must email your confirmed flight itinerary directly to our travel coordinator at [email protected]. Please note that uploading your itinerary to the candidate portal or sending it to the main program office will delay your stipend payment.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chile.

Sincerely,
Gabriela Muñoz, Director
