O Castro Art Village

O Castro welcomes artists, writers, researchers, thinkers, and creative practitioners of all disciplines for stays of flexible duration, from two weeks to two months. The residency is self-funded: residents cover the cost of their own stay. In return, you get space, solitude, community, and a landscape that inspires you to create your next great work. You will live in a climate-controlled geodesic dome with a full bathroom, surrounded by forest. Dinners are often prepared and shared collectively using fresh local produce. Wine comes from a vineyard below your feet. You will have access to a gorgeous studio loft on site, high speed internet, the daily rhythm of an active creative community, film screenings, forest walks, hammocks on hilltops, a vibrant community of creatives, and the chance to engage with the local rural communities of the Ribeira Sacra.
