Atlantic ocean and Itanhaém river
The locals call it Prainha, which means "small beach". The official name of the beach is Praia dos Pescadores.

Our Artists Residency is located right there at the white arrow, in Itanhaém, a city of  90 thousand people, 100 km from São Paulo capital.

There are hourly buses from Itanhaém to São Paulo and the trip takes 2 hours.

The residency curator is Ricardo Ramalho, a graduated performing artist with 20 years of experience in the contemporary art scene and market. Ricardo is also an art consultant so you will be well assisted.

Our Residency program:

- First of all, enjoy:
Prainha Artists Residency is located right in front of the best beach in the southern state coast. The spot is particulary attractive to surfers. The area is quite well populated as the city is around 480 years old, so it is not a deserted or isolated beach. It is a city beach, but it is a very calm place in weekdays. During weekends many tourists come to enjoy the city.

- Relax:
An artist´s retreat is not only a place to work, it is a place to recover, to meditate, to breathe, to socialize, to contemplate, so new ideas may come. You will have a private bedroom and many nice livingrooms to chill out.

- Work on your project:
Now we are talking about hard work :) Ricardo will assist you on your project development weekly. We provide feedback on your project and can work toghether to find good strategies and concepts for your art work. But if yoou don´t want to develop any project, if you just want to relax, it is fine, just enjoy a sabbatic time or vacations. There is a nice shared studio to work on.

- Itanhaém tours:
The city is one of the oldest in our country, and there are some intersting historic sites to visit, like the old monastery (convento de Itanhaém), the old jail, Anchietas Bed (Cama de Anchieta, it is a rock by the sea). Itanhaém has also some options of nighlife and great seafood.

- São Paulo tours:
We recommend all guests to visit São Paulo, so we organize excursions from Itanhaém to the huge metropole. Extra fees may apply.

- Extra classes and educational programs:
Courses on painting, drawing and other techniques can be organized for guests or groups.

- Food and barbecue
There is a nice kitchen and a barbecue place to prepare your meals anytime, alno, or with your new friends residents.

How to apply:

Just write a "Letter of Intent" to Ricardo Ramalho, the residency curator,
and send it to artistaramalho@gmail.com

You may also send your artistic CV, links and portfolio but that is optional. We want to encourage not only artists to come, but art lovers as well.

The residency is independend and rely on the contribuitions of the residents, so there is a small fee of 440 euros a month for a private bedroom and shared studio space. Maximum stay is 3 months. Approved residents are kindly required to make the deposit to confirm the reservation.
