PRISMA art residency

LISBOA 

Prisma is a volunteer-operated cultural association in the most diverse quarter of central Lisbon (Martim Moniz). We are a collective of expert curators, cultural managers, and artists. Our space exists to provide opportunities for emerging artists and we invite artists from various practices to participate and support our work. The program can host up to 7 artists at a time, we provide accommodation, a shared atelier space, access to support, and opportunities for collaboration with cultural actors in the city. The residency is run alongside our exhibition program and schedule of cultural events in which residents are encouraged to collaborate.

We welcome artists and organisers from diverse practices and backgrounds, researchers, curators, and critics for short (1-3 months) and long term (3+ months). Either as a resident or for those already in Lisbon, as a studio resident.

We offer residents the possibility to explore techniques, concepts, ideas, and collaborations, to develop a final project. Throughout you will receive curatorial guidance and support from our community.

At the end of the program, each resident will be offered the opportunity to exhibit their works in a final exhibition, publication, workshop, open studio, or performance in the gallery space in Prisma.
