OBRAS: Residency in Rural Portugal

OBRAS offers an international art residency in rural Portugal, providing artists and researchers with time, space, and solitude for deep work. Located near Évoramonte in the Alentejo region, the residency emphasizes process over outcomes, allowing work to develop at its own pace. Residents live and work across a property featuring apartments, studios, and outdoor areas, fostering a balance of connection and privacy. Disciplines include visual arts, video, installation, fiber arts, jewelry, design, music, writing, performance, dance, theatrical, and research-based projects. Residents are invited to give informal talks and participate in open studios for the local community.
