Résidences d'artistes & échanges en Spain
17 opportunités à travers 9 villes en Spain. Postulez directement aux hôtes sur Artaway.
Spain's residency scene is anchored by Barcelona — especially the Poblenou arts district, a former industrial zone now home to artist-run spaces like La Escocesa, JIWAR and Piramidón. Madrid carries the institutional weight (Matadero, Casa de Velázquez), and smaller pockets are emerging in Bilbao, Valencia, and rural Andalucía. Most hosts below work bilingually in ES/EN; a handful accept PT or FR, useful to note when drafting your application.
Nectar — rural creative residency in the Tarragona countryside
Tarragona
A rural centre for creative work in a masia in the Tarragona countryside, Catalonia, roughly an hour from Barcelona. Nectar combines co-working and co-living: you get quiet, unhurried time for your own project, shared meals, and the company of other people working on theirs. The setting is the draw, with limestone ridges, woodland and long views over the valley. Nectar has hosted artists since 2018 through its NECTAIR residency programme, which included exhibitions and collaborations with Galeria angels barcelona, Art Nou and On Mediation. It also runs RURALCREA, supporting cultural, research and creative projects in small rural towns across the province of Tarragona, in dialogue with the territory, its inhabitants, landscape and memory. Stays suit artists, writers, designers and researchers who want to step out of the city and work at a slower pace. Exact dates, length and conditions are arranged directly with the hosts.

Exchange at a cultural space run by Latin American migrant artists in Madrid

Espacio Amazonas is a pioneering space in the Carabanchel neighbourhood, created by Latin American women living in Madrid.

That could be a photo series, a mural, an open workshop for the community, a piece of research or a one-off intervention. The proposal is worked out together with the team. During the stay the artist has a work space inside the centre, access to the programme, and an active network of migrant artists in Madrid.
