What to expect

Two weeks of making, gathered into one evening.

Two weeks of making, gathered into one evening. Every artist who passed through the residency leaves something behind, and the Open House is where it all comes together: the finished pieces, the work still wet, and the people who made them. Meet the artists, walk the exhibition, and share in an evening of music and warm gatherings under the Alentejo sky.

  • The full exhibition
  • Meet the artists
  • Live music
  • Open studios
  • Movement & dance
  • Tea gatherings

Whose work is on the walls

The artists showing

Every artist who led a day at the residency is here on the evening, standing beside what came out of it. Here is the work they arrived with, so you know whose hands you will be shaking.

The residency has closed

The doors have closed

The Open House was the last evening of the residency and it has been and gone. Everything above is what was on the walls that night. We are now bringing our creative services, living galleries and art residencies to hotels and guest houses — if that is you, or you would like to know when the doors open again, there is a message form below.

Write to us

Just a question

Write to us

Not a booking, just a message. Anything you would like to know before the evening: how to find us, what to bring, whether to come early. We answer every one ourselves.

We answer every message personally.
