Silba Environment Art (SEA) is a platform for creative experiments on a remote Croatian island, offering immersive residencies that invite artists and practitioners into a deep relationship with the nature and redefining everyday life, resources and sustainability. Rooted in practices of slowness and deep listening, they foster sacred experimentation and a subtle attunement to the wisdom of the land, the sea, and the silence. Building on over two decades of work at the intersection of contemporary art and ecology, SEA was formally established on the island in 2015, but since 2010 they have hosted several hundreds of international creatives to experiment with environmental art and sustainable practices.

SEA AIR invites artists, researchers, healers, writers, sonic explorers, ritualists, herbalists, cultural and occult practitioners to apply for our residencies on the remote Adriatic island of Silba, in the blue heart of the Mediterranean. This is an invitation to slowness, solitude, and sacred experimentation. It is an offer of deep, transformative rest from the demands of hiperproduction and overpresence, and an opportunity to recalibrate your rhythm, reconnect with your senses, and create in attunement with the natural cycles within and around you. Proposals in all forms are welcome, but especially those open to the process of art, soundscapes, writings, rituals, documenting, healing, and everything in between.

SEA AIR is not an art center or a retreat—it is an invitation to sacred rest, deep listening, and elemental creation. Here, the house runs on solar power and rainwater; the nights are deeply dark, pierced only by starlight. The forest is your studio. The silence is your collaborator. Result is inner change.

Your home on Silba is an off-grid wooden house, nestled in a Mediterranean forest 15 walk from the only village on the island, and only a short walk from untouched beaches. The entire home operates in harmony with nature: power is drawn from the sun and water is collected from the sky, both precious resources to be respected. Prepare for genuine wilderness and solitude experience.
