Casa Mísia opens call for new Artistic Residency

04 Apr - 10 Jun 2025

---

Artists and researchers are invited to apply for the next Artistic Residency offered by KEF. From 1 to 22 August, the selected artist or researcher will have exclusive use of Casa Mísia, a charming apartment of approximately 140 m². The 18th-century building is located in the historic centre of Lisbon, in one of the city's most vibrant cultural areas.

The resident will have total freedom to develop their project at their own pace. They will also have access to Mísia's personal library, with works from various fields of knowledge. The collection is an invitation to research and immersion in the cultural universe of one of the greatest voices in Portuguese music. In tribute to the fado singer and her legacy, the House remains exactly as Mísia left it, filled with her personal belongings.

 

Conditions

The Artistic Residency is open to all creators and researchers, Portuguese or foreign, whether or not they reside in Portugal.

The maintenance of the space is entirely covered by the programme. All other costs (food, transport, materials, etc.) will be the sole responsibility of the resident artist.

The resident must provide personal accident insurance, valid for the duration of the residency, among other conditions established in a contract to be signed by both parties.

The programme provides the possibility of presenting the work developed during the residency to the local community. If it is of interest, the resident may lead a workshop for a minimum number of participants, according to the terms established by KEF. 

Applications

Applications must be submitted by 10 June 2025.

Only applications (in Portuguese or English) submitted via e-mail info@kefoundation.eu will be evaluated. These must include the candidate's CV, a proposal letter, a detailed project description and a development timeline. Proposals will be evaluated by the KEF team, who will communicate the results by 22 June.

More than one candidate may be selected for the residencies scheduled until the end of the year.
