Aviário StudioAbout This Opportunity
“Exploration and production in the field of ceramic tiles”
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 Ceramic Tiles Residency aims to promote exploration and production in the field of ceramic tiles. The program is customized according to the artist's goals regarding duration, outcome and focus. We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation, research and learning new techniques; or it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.
Please note that ceramics residencies have to be at least 3 weeks.
