OBRAS is an international artist residency offering time, space and tranquility to artists and researchers across disciplines. The residency is located on the property Herdade da Marmeleira near the village of Évoramonte in the Alentejo region of Portugal, and is designed for in-depth, self-directed work without requirements for finished results or public presentation.
Stays last from 3 to 8 weeks, and participants live and work scattered across the property which consists of a main house with several apartments, two smaller houses, four studios as well as outdoor areas and a pool. The disciplines covered include visual art, video and film, installation, textile art, jewelry art, design, music, writing, performance, dance, theater and research-based projects. There is a dedicated music room with piano and instruments, as well as several studios of varying sizes without fixed technical infrastructure.
The social program is informal: residents gather for shared dinner approximately every fifth day, and each artist is invited to give an informal talk about their work. Twice a year open studio events are arranged where the local community is invited. The stay is based on self-payment – accommodation costs from 165 to 310 euros per week depending on living arrangement, while studios cost 50 euros and the music room 65 euros per week.
