The residency programme
The residency programme is the same for all disciplines and is built on four pillars.
Curatorial follow-up
Each project is accompanied through individual and group meetings with our team curator, with technical and logistic support throughout the residency.
Thematic workshops
Two workshops a month are open to the community, and resident artists take part with a 50% discount. Once a month, residents join the embroiderers of Arraiolos in a free session at the museum.
Study visits
Walks or excursions to the natural and historical heritage of the region.
Engagement with the community
Resident artists are encouraged to share their knowledge and creative processes with local schoolchildren and neighbours.
Each residency period concludes with an open studio and a professional photo session.
