Welcoming, never intimidating
No portfolio and no academic hierarchy. Curiosity, generosity and commitment matter most.
For committed amateurs
Your art is serious.
The house is warm.
A welcoming residency where you can learn, make and meet people who share your curiosity — with the comfort of a creative house and none of the intimidation of an academic programme.

Does this feel familiar?
You do not need a professional title to deserve an immersive creative experience.
You have built a life and kept art close through it. Now there is time to give that passion more space — without auditions, jargon or the feeling that you need to prove you belong.
What changes here
Go deeper into your art without giving up comfort, pleasure or connection.
Comfort you can choose
Select a single room or private ensuite, with meals and the daily details taken care of.
Learning through exchange
Meet artists and makers from different places, share techniques and follow your own pace.
Nature and culture together
Work at the house, walk to the river and explore Braga, Guimarães and Porto on open days.
