Ey!Studio AiR is open to artists, researchers, curators, writers, musicians, filmmakers, designers and creative practitioners from all disciplines and nationalities. Applications are welcome from individuals, collectives and interdisciplinary teams committed to developing a research or creative project during the residency. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and able to communicate in English or Spanish at a basic level. Residents are expected to work independently, actively engage with the studio environment and respect the shared living and working spaces.

Program Description

Ey!Studio AiR offers flexible residencies ranging from one to three months in a supportive, artist-run environment located in Carabanchel, one of Madrid's leading contemporary art districts. Residents are provided with private accommodation and 24-hour access to shared studio facilities, allowing them to focus on research, experimentation and the development of new work. The programme is self-directed and does not impose production or exhibition requirements, although participants are encouraged to engage with Madrid's cultural scene and the local artistic community. Depending on the residency period and programme, opportunities such as studio visits, professional networking and participation in an optional final open studio or exhibition may be available. Ey!Studio AiR promotes an international, interdisciplinary atmosphere that encourages dialogue, collaboration and creative exchange among residents from diverse backgrounds.
