Eligibility

Applying artists and their projects will be assessed by the committee of A L T O founders who will contemplate projects following these criteria: Project cohesiveness, aesthetic & conceptual integration of ideas, critical awareness of the work undertaken, quality & professionalism. The land conceptually and materially provides a considerable amount of space within which to produce outside of a studio environment. We recommend when possible an integration of the land into the work, yet this is not a requirement. The duration of your residency can be anywhere between 1 week to 3 months.

Number of Participants

We can host up to 25 people at the same time. Partners are welcome for an extra charge. Not so good for children as dangerous heights, pool and jungle creatures...

Program Description

A L T O is an Art Residency held in Brazil within the mountains of Alto Paraiso, 230km from Brasilia. It exists as a container for self-directed artists who wish to nurture their work through embracing the particularities of Alto Paraiso, surrounded by abundant raw nature, jungle & fauna and a powerful and ever–changing landscape, which can inspire, or set new work production, within an evident context of our connection with the land and sustainability. A L T O provides a space for critical observation of the project, conceptually and technically. It is held at Mariri Jungle Lodge, a creative home and permacultural project space, where as an add-on to the residency there is also the possibility to cooperate with local sustainability by working in the orchards, organic veg patches, recycling, healthy nutrition and bio-construction, providing further connection to the land and its residents.
