ART & COLLABORATION

ART RESIDENCY PROGRAM

Our Residency program is a unique opportunity for creators to immerse themselves in the beauty and heritage of our sanctuary. This residency invites artists to draw inspiration from the natural world, using local materials and their personal vision to create works that resonate with the harmony of art and nature.

Apply

Our goal for the residency program is to invite talented individuals from Portugal and around the world to share their gifts with us, contributing to a cultural exchange that inspires creativity and connection.

Artists holistically exchange their experience for art that becomes part of Quinta Filippa’s permanent collection, enriching the property with unique creative contributions.

* A selection of the works will also be available for sale to guests.

Disciplines include fine art, literature, visual arts, natural sciences, and environmental practices, spanning painting and storytelling, as well as ecology, regeneration, and biofarming.

COLLABORATIONS

We celebrate the rich heritage and creativity by partnering with artisans and artists to bring their crafts and visions to life.

Through collaborations, we aim to support and showcase their work while fostering a creative alliance built on shared values. These partnerships are about exchanging ideas, techniques, and inspiration to create something truly unique. While this program does not include a stay at Quinta Filippa, it offers the opportunity to contribute to our evolving story through creative projects, installations, or crafted pieces that reflect the essence of our sanctuary.
