Pinea A.I.R Call for Artists

PINEA is an Artist in Residence Program located in Cádiz Bay, in the coastal district of Rota, Southern Spain.

PINEA is an A.I.R. program for artistic research, production, meetings and exhibitions. A place for artists working in site specific projects whose aim is to dynamically contribute to improve the town, by involving the community in an active way.

PINEA aims to stimulate creativity through interaction with the local environment, artists and cultural institutions, and seeks to foster cross-cultural relations between participants and the local community.

STUDIOS & ACCOMMODATION:
PINEA art space is located in a 1 950' building strategically located between the town's historic centre and the local natural spaces as beaches, pine forests and dunes. The shared Art Space can accommodate up to three artists, and are equipped with Wireless Internet Connection, three studios / bedrooms, two andalusian terraces (patios) for meetings, relaxing and working, and library & multi-space, a full equipped kitchen and three bathrooms.
We offer to artists in residence the possibility to live in their studios, which are provided with single bed. The accommodation is not a rental apartment, but a free courtesy for artists in residence memberships. However, artists-in-residence can opt to rent and pay by themselves their own accommodation in a different location (for example if they don't want to live and work in the same space or if they want to be accompanied by friends or relatives). Anyway, in both cases, the artist-in-residence membership dues are the same.

GALLERY: PINEA celebrate the artists in residence final events in the full equipped exhibition space located in a historic building in the city center.
