REC.ON — Open Call for SEPTEMBER — OCTOBER 2026_Ecovillage — Spain_Writing Residency
Overview
REC.ON is an organization that facilitates residencies in an ecovillage setting in Spain. This open call seeks practitioners for a two-month residency period from September to October 2026. The residency is open to those working in painting, dance, and visual art, with a particular emphasis on writing. The ecovillage environment suggests an immersion in sustainable living and communal creative practice, offering time and space away from urban pressures. The residency provides an opportunity for artists to develop their work within a supportive, ecologically minded community. While specific details regarding studio access, stipends, or exhibition outcomes are not provided in the available information, the setting itself—an ecovillage—implies a focus on process, experimentation, and dialogue with the natural world. Artists working across disciplines are encouraged to apply, though the primary discipline listed is painting, with genres including dance and visual art. Given the lack of explicit guidelines, applicants should prepare a compelling bio and a clear project proposal that articulates how the residency's unique context will inform their practice. The selection committee likely values work that engages with themes of ecology, sustainability, and community, and that demonstrates a thoughtful approach to site-specific creation. This residency is suited for those who thrive in collaborative, low-impact environments and who seek to integrate their artistic work with broader ecological and social questions.
