An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences.
Aviário Studio Painting Residency aims to promote the exploration and production in the Painting field. Artists are invited to focus on their work in a creative and encouraging environment.
We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation and research; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.
The use of solvents or other strong-smelling products isn’t allowed due to health and environmental reasons. Please always use green products (less toxic and odor-free) as a safer alternative to traditional ones, helping protect everyone who uses the studio.
