Overview:
Inspired by the age-old tradition of familiar salt production in the south of Portugal and fueled by the boundless possibilities of new media art, we have forged a unique space where these two divergent worlds come together.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Artist Residency program in Lisbon. This unique and inspiring opportunity invites emerging and established artists to immerse themselves in a creative haven, fostering experimentation, collaboration, and personal growth.
Mission:
Our Artist Residency aims to provide a nurturing environment for artists to explore their artistic practice, embrace new techniques, and develop innovative works. We strive to create a supportive community that encourages artistic exchange, critical dialogue, and cross-disciplinary interactions.
