Torrinha invites artists from all fields of practice and career stages. Torrinha artist residence invites artists from all fields of practice and career stages, with an emphasis on highly motivated early career artists. Torrinha's programme is grounded on the principles of personal exploration, professional development, connection, co-living and collaboration. Torrinha studios is located in the C

edofeita district, the crowned art district of Porto. The residents will be staying minutes away from Rua de Miguel Bombarda, known as home to most independent contemporary art galleries, second-hand shops, concept stores and cafés. The biggest museums can be reached by a short walk from the residence, as well as Porto Municipal gallery, located in the beautiful Palácio de Cristal gardens by the Douro river. Residence’s location is close enough to the most important monuments of the city and to the nightlife district yet far away enough to ensure a good night of sleep. Torrinha studios is placed in a 3 storey house, built in the late 19th century. The house welcomes its visitors with a traditional tiled facade, tall ceilings, and an authentic skylight above a wooden staircase. The inside area is approximately 250 m2 (2690 ft2), although it is divided into smaller rooms and workplaces. A characteristic area of the house is a large glass covered veranda, serving as a work space with a great source of natural light or a gathering area. The house has a fully equipped kitchen with a small dining nook and two bathrooms with bathtub, WC and a bidet. The house offers 4 separate single bedrooms and 3 shared studios. The residents are expected to share the common areas as well as the studios. Residence programme:

Torrinha residence offers a tightly bound communal way of living and creating amongst other artist professionals in the heart of Porto art scene. The programme of the residence aims to offer conditions for residents to develop an informal critique routine, with visits from art professionals from the local area. Torrinha team members organize visits to local galleries, museums, artist-run institutions and local artist studios. The programme is not strictly designed for artistic production, but residence offers 3 shared studio spaces and an access to ceramic workshop outside of the main building. We encourage and assist artists in organizing open studios, workshops, pop-up exhibitions and performances. An exhibition of residents’ works is organized at the end of the stay.
