Title:
Casa Na Ilha
Deadline:
30 November 2025
Organization:
Casa na Ilha is a retreat space to devote time and focus to your creative pursuits in an ecological paradise. Artists can intensely dedicate on their work in progress or develop new projects. The main goal is that artists are able to focus on their ideas and projects, enhancing creativity and inspiration and connect, between them, the local community and nature.
Artists work in a self-directed residency: you will have uninterrupted, self-directed work time. The organisers will not pressure you to deliver finished work; you can focus solely on research and development of ideas. However, during your stay, there will be a tutor on location 24/7 to discuss ideas, projects and progress of work during the duration of the residency time, respecting the artists pace and direction. They do not provide a set program or itinerary for artists to follow, sessions and tutor advice and support will be approached personally case by case around artists' self-directed practices. The tutor will give you guidance, as well as help, make the necessary contacts, approaches and arrangements with different parties the project requires.
