Casa Balandra is a multi-disciplinary residency offering a community based, collaborative approach. Hosting six artists per residency, you will share a house on the island of Mallorca, Spain. With a community based approach, Casa Balandra brings together a group of creatives from different fields, encouraging an open exchange of ideas and work.
La Casa has 6 bedrooms, a large kitchen, dining room, living room, garden with swimming pool and 6 shared studio spaces all for the use of the residents. We assign studios and bedrooms based on each individual's practice, but can accommodate changes once here. The house as a whole is a free creative space, so if you feel inspired by a certain corner, you may interact with it always respecting the house and the rest of the people sharing your space.
