NAT Art Residence

The Residence: The house is located in Tagle, Suances Town Hall, Cantabria, in the north of Spain. They are immersed in a geographical space full of human activity for many thousands of years and with an important heritage of Palaeolithic art. Altamira, Monte Castillo and Covalanas are the best known examples of the many existing caves in the region that preserve our first works of art. Many thousands of years ago, a first person looked for the elements, generated the pigments, elaborated the tools, selected the space, observed the environment in detail, decided that he / she wanted to capture, went into the depth and darkness of a cave and, once there, in an awkward position, he / she created. Creating means making something out of nothing. The origin of art is what guides the organisers in their art programs, taking it as a reference for a new beginning and nature as the starting point to achieve it. It is always a good time to start, restart, explore changes, look for new languages, or simply step out of our comfort zone. Surrounded by this magic and its surroundings, our residents from all disciplines of the arts will develop their projects here. Andrea Juan and Gabriel Penedo Diego will carry out continuous monitoring and support on the evolution of your project to encourage and stimulate its development until, at the end of the residency, you have transformed it into a work. They offer to the Artists: • Accommodation for 12 nights in a private room. • Amenities consisting of food and cleaning supplies for individual or general use such as coffee, tea, milk, cookies, oil, rice, etc. Fresh products or those not included in the detailed list in the annex “Price and Conditions” will be paid by the resident. • Transfer of the group to and from the city of Santander (or its airport) on your arrival and on your departure. • Visit at the National Museum of Altamira, including tickets and transfers, accompanied by Andrea and Gabriel. • Visits, in two days, to the caves with Rock Art of El Pendo, Las Monedas, El Castillo and Covalanas.
