Creative Residences

About our Creative Residences

The territory is the starting point for reflection and practice within the Loulé Criativo creative residency program. The residencies emerge as dynamic spaces where artisans, designers, artists, and makers immerse themselves in collaborative projects, reflecting on new perspectives and approaches. They are true incubators of creativity, fostering multidisciplinary interactions, often with community involvement, and stimulating imagination.
