Artist Residency

Are you an emerging artist under 35 looking to immerse yourself in a supportive and inspiring environment?

CAPITÃO Artist Residency invites you to apply for our upcoming two-week creative retreat in São Marcos do Campo, Reguengos de Monsaraz, Alentejo, Portugal.

The residency offers a unique opportunity for artists to develop their original projects amidst the tranquil beauty of the Alentejo region. Designed to foster artistic growth through research and collaboration, CAPITÃO provides a supportive setting that facilitates engaging and thought-provoking discussions among residents. This dynamic exchange aims to build a vibrant network of artists, curators, and academics.
