About
Córtex Frontal, an artist-in-residence program based in Arraiolos, Portugal, was established in 2016 by the Córtexcult Cultural Association. It offers multidisciplinary residencies focusing on visual arts, performative arts, literature, and music, fostering interactions between artists from different disciplines, the local community, and the territory. Their facilities include a historical 18th-century manor house with private and shared studios equipped for various art forms, from printmaking to digital media. Artists can stay for periods ranging from 4 weeks to 3 months, with accommodations and technical support provided. The program is open to international artists, including duos or groups, and supports last-minute applications. The residency emphasizes community engagement through workshops, open studios, and artist lectures at local educational institutions. It also assists residents in obtaining funding through programs like Culture Moves Europe. The fees for the residency cover accommodation, studio use, and access to common areas.
