メルトラ修道院アーティスト・イン・レジデンス

Convento de Mértola is an international residency situated in a former Franciscan monastery overlooking the Guadiana Valley in southern Portugal. The residency welcomes emerging and established artists, designers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, teachers, and researchers who seek time, concentration, and a contemplative environment for their practice. Stays range from two nights to one month, with longer periods possible by agreement. Residents receive a private studio equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area, as well as access to shared workspaces, the historic church, gardens, and Wi‑Fi. Contributions are required to support the upkeep of the site, with rates varying by length of stay (e.g., €95 per night for short stays). Applications are made via a contact form, and there is no fixed deadline, making the program open on a rolling basis. The residency emphasizes quiet, independent work while offering the possibility of communal moments such as shared meals or studio use upon request.
