Obras-Portugal is located on a hill overlooking a rolling landscape with cork oaks and a medieval fortress. Nature starts at your doorstep. Highlights in the wider surroundings are megalithic monuments, abandoned marble quarries, dreamy villages and Évora: a university town with UNESCO world heritage status.

Obras offers professional artists an inspiring residency in a peaceful, rural environment, with good working spaces and if you wish support for specific activities (such as open studio and other public events).

Generally, there will be around 6 artists. Each work individually and have all privacy; collaborations are on your own initiative. Twice a week they organise an artist talk and shared dinner in an informal atmosphere.
