To learn about IWAR, Val David before applying— or just to become more familiar with the Residence — you may want to read our information kit at www.flaviacosma.com/Val_David.html.

Our III International Writers’ and Artists’ Festival Palabra en el mundo will take place at the Residence in May and October each year. For more information and to participate please contact

Staying in touch with you is important to us, and to that end, we'd like to remind you of a new way you can keep abreast of
