Ca La Rosa
Ca La Rosa
Ca La Rosa is a space where all phases of the creation process can be developed: conception, experimentation, elaboration and public presentation. The facilities and their infrastructure will place a certain emphasis on the artistic techniques of publishing and installation/digital technology, but the multipurpose qualities of the center and its program of activities are not limited. The interdisciplinarity of the arts is typical of our times. Located in the beautiful landscapes of Empordà, Girona, north Spain, it has amazing surroundings to develop art in an original context.
Stage in Edition, Graphic and Context
The First Training Programme for Publishing, Graphics and Context combines artistic practice in printing graphic works and mentorships with artists and professionals from the sector to support projects from their beginnings to the final screen printing.

-Living together in an art centre in Empordà
-Private room and work space for each person
-Open reflection and practice sessions (Tarda Rosa: conversations about art for everyone)
The residencies are organised from Monday to Sunday with the possibility of arriving the previous Saturday: artists who can arrive the weekend before the first day of the training programme will have the opportunity to start establishing friendships with the rest of the group and the team or simply enjoy a leisurely welcome and get to know the surrounding area.
The First Training Programme for Publishing, Graphics and Context takes place entirely in the facilities of CA LA ROSA, Centre d’Art i Recerca, located in Carrer Girona, 31 in Verges, Baix Empordà (Girona). CA LA ROSA was once an inn that has been restored as an art centre and offers rooms to accommodate artists and their creative work in a spacious, relaxed and unique atmosphere in the heart of Empordà. The town of Verges, with its heavy mediaeval imprint and unique Empordanese streets, provides the setting for the residency.
