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.

APPLICATIONS CLOSED
Our residency season is from NOVEMBER - APRIL
Applications
We accept applications from all creative disciplines.
To apply, we require a portfolio of your relevant work, a personal statement and an outline of a project you would like to develop while at Casa Balandra. We are aware that the residency and its surroundings should inspire your work, so we ask for an abstract objective of your time here.
Please note that applying does not guarantee you a spot at the residency.
Costs
There is a daily fee which is revised yearly to reflect the upkeep of the property. This goes towards running the house and the continuation of the residency program. In addition, we ask for a voluntary donation from each artist. Donated artworks hang through the guest house, giving the spaces a visual memory of past residents. The resulting art collection also forms a valuable asset that can help raise funds for the continuation of the residency program, supporting future artists like yourselves.
What's Included
The residency includes accommodation, studios, weekly house clean and one weekly family meal.
Open studios
During your residency, we will have a midpoint open studios among the Casa Balandra staff and your fellow residents in which you to share your work and get feedback, and one final open studio in the form of an exhibition that will be open to the public.
