Aviário Studio Drawing Residency 2026
Aviário StudioAbout This Opportunity
“Exploration and production in the Painting field”
Aviário Studio Drawing 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. 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.
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.
