APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

For the Period: June 2026 - end of October 2026

 

 

Cortijo el Moro Art Residency is a dedicated space for artists, set on the edge of the Sierra de Maria natural park, Andalucía, Spain. Here you will find inspiration, peace and the space to think, create and play.

 

Set within a sympathetically restored cortijo, and across 3 floors, we offer single and double accommodation: 4 bedrooms, a communal studio, use of the ceramics workshop, shared kitchen, bathrooms (2), internal and external spaces, including a wonderful roof terrace, a fly-free and over 2 acres of land to wander, where you will find olive, fig, walnut, pomegranate and persimmon trees - we are confident you will find everything you need here, including oodles of inspiration!

 

Chris and Laura established Cortijo el Moro’s art residency in 2025. We welcome artists, writers and researchers from across the globe, practising in any media. However, we do have a dedicated ceramics workshop, a small selection of woodworking and metalworking tools.

 

Are you looking for the space and tranquility to develop a new body of work, write a novel, or perhaps wanting to meet fellow creatives, share ideas and learn new skills to develop your practice?..

 

Then, we may have just the thing. 

 

Accommodation is offered on a self-catering basis.

 

250€ per room per week / single occupancy

 

400€ per week / double occupancy (if only one artist using the studio facilities)

 

500€ per week / double occupancy (if both residents are using the studio facilities)

 

Stay with us from one week to two months. Discounts may be available for longer stays.

 

There's more... When your stay comes to an end, our shared journey doesn't have to. In fact, residents may be invited to become a member of the Cortijo el Moro Collective. This is a shared online space with past, and current art residents. Our intention is to create a space where you can continue to meet international artists, to collaborate, share news of upcoming exhibitions, ask for advice or feedback on new work, run a live workshop or ask another member to share their skills. We hope you can see the magic of such a resource too. 

 

Future open calls are published on our instagram page, so be sure to follow.
