ACM implements the SMart Residency Program in partnership with the Fund for Sustainable Development of Mountainous Areas (FDDM) with the aim of strengthening local photographers’ capabilities, fostering cooperation among photographers worldwide, and promoting the contribution of art to local development. The program provides the grantee with a fully-funded 3-month residency in Switzerland. At the conclusion of the residency, an international and local exhibition is held to introduce the artist to the public.
