The Muse is Calling ’23 – Call for Artist Residency

Welcome to our annual artist residency program called “The Muse is Calling”. Every summer we open our doors for artists, and invite them for a longer period to create. We are able to do that in the summer when the house and our land is more quiet, so there is more space, time and attention for arty work.

The idea is that we want to give all the chance for those creative people who choose Camino for residency to focus on their projects. That is why we need a proper project plan from you when you apply, and we discuss it and help you in the process when needed. We offer reduced prices for accommodation and food, and we hope this helps our artists to stay with us for a longer period. The minimum time of the residency is one week, the maximum is 4 weeks. Actually you could stay longer but we believe in deadlines, so we expect you to finish your project in your Camino time. Staying longer might mean that you will need more projects 🙂
That is also a tradition in Camino that we request our artists to contribute to our project beside their personal projects. This can be holding one or two workshops in Camino, making photos that we can use with promotional purposes, creating an art piece that is also useful for daily use, etc.

Why to apply?

– Camino is a creative and inspiring place where you can meet like-minded people. We are recognized as a cultural and arty place on the island, and we are happy to offer our space to you to work and for the representation of your work
– You can spend time alone, or in company depending on your needs
– You can be invited to our Let me Bloom or Let me Fall festivals that are held every december and march. These festivals are art and self-development gatherings. Read more about it here.
– In the summer period our house is very tranquil. Which means we are looking for special ways to generate income, offering reduced prices for artists is one of these attempts. So we beleive that our artist residency is a win-win-win situation as the artists can enjoy our services for low prices, Camino can ganerate some income in low season, and everyone else can enjoy the art that is created during this time.
– We offer very good prices
– We have an amazing dog and 7 super cute cats on the property, all of them are real characters and absolutely loveable.
– We have a large land with little nooks and look outs that you can use/enjoy while your stay.

We also ask you to value the time and your work that you can spend in Camino and devote it to your precious work, this is the moral aspect of your contribution.
