Prisma Residency in Lisbon

Prisma is a volunteer-led and volunteer-operated cultural association in the most diverse quarter of central Lisbon (Martim Moniz). We are a collective of expert curators, cultural managers, and artists. The space exists to provide opportunities for emerging artists. We invite artists from various practices to participate in our residency program to support our work. The program can host up to 5 artists at a time, we provide accommodation, a shared atelier space, access to support, and opportunities for collaboration with cultural actors in the city. The residency is run alongside our exhibition program and schedule of cultural events in which residents are encouraged to participate and collaborate.

We welcome artists, organizers, researchers, curators, and critics from diverse backgrounds for 1-3 month residencies. Immerse yourself in Lisbon’s vibrant underground artistic community. Engage in our events, and exhibitions, and collaborate with community members. Whether you’re a resident or already in Lisbon, enjoy our studio residency. Explore techniques, concepts, and ideas, and develop a final project. Receive curatorial guidance and support from our community. At the program’s end, exhibit your work in a final exhibition, publication, workshop, or performance at Prisma’s gallery space.
