Prisma AIR Lisbon Residency

Prisma AIR Lisbon Residency

Our non-profit, volunteer-run association in Martim Moniz, Lisbon, is welcoming new residents for 1–3 month stays. Since 2019, we’ve collaborated with hundreds of artists and built a lively underground creative hub where people connect, experiment, and grow.

 

At Prisma, you’ll join workshops, events, and weekly conversations, meet local and international creatives, and receive friendly guidance whenever needed. In your final week, you will have full freedom to use the space in whatever format suits your practice: a solo or group exhibition, open studio, workshop, talk, performance, showcase, screening, or any kind of event you want to create.

 

What we offer:

  • Private room in a shared, furnished apartment (bi-weekly cleaning)
  • 70m² shared atelier
  • One-to-one support and group sessions
  • Free or discounted access to events
  • Work presentation/exhibition or event of your choice in the final week

Fees: 900€/month (residency) or 350€ (studio only)

Invitation letters provided for mobility funding applications.

Who we’re looking for:

Community-minded, self-directed artists, organisers, researchers, curators, and critics eager to immerse themselves in an active creative environment.
