Aviário Studio Intaglio Printmaking Residency 2026

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 Intaglio Printmaking Residency Program aims to promote the exploration and production in the Printmaking field with the focus on the intaglio techniques - drypoint, etching, aquatint, soft-ground etching, soap ground, mezzotint, carborundum, collagraph, solar plates, ...

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 duration, focus and outcome of the residency is defined by the participating artist's goals.
