Joya AiR 2023 - Apply now!

Joya: arte + ecología / AiR is an "off-grid" interdisciplinary residency at the crossroads of art, ecology and sustainable living. Deadline: December 20, 2022.

Joya: arte + ecología / AiR is an "off-grid" interdisciplinary residency rooted in the crossroads of art, ecology and sustainable living practice. It is located in the heart of the Parque Natural Sierra María - Los Vélez, in the north of the province of Almería, Andalucía. Joya: AiR offers abundant time and space for residents to make, think, explore and learn from their surroundings.

Joya: AiR supports a range of disciplines including, but not limited to, visual art, writing, music, dance, curatorial and film. Founded by Simon and Donna Beckmann in 2009, the Joya: arte + ecología / AiR programme is grounded in the foundation that dynamic and sustainable creative activity is the backbone of regenerating the land that has been slowly abandoned over the last fifty years.

Since 2009, Joya: AiR has welcomed over 800 artists and creatives to realise their projects within one of the most unique and beautiful regions of Spain.

Residents have access to individual studio space and 20 hectares of land. Accommodation (private room with attached bathroom) and meals are included, as is the collection and return to the nearest public transport system.

Their food is local and homemade. Five nights a week they prepare a one-pot meal which residents can share and add something of their own from the food they provide. Two nights a week they prepare supper for everyone so they can gather together and share food in a communal atmosphere.

Selected artists are invited to contribute to the Joya: artists listing and are asked to contribute a small text outlining the nature of their practice whilst in residency. This will be posted to the Joya: website along with a link to the artists' website.

Selected artists are requested to make a presentation of their work to other artists in residence during their period at Joya: AiR. This is not obligatory, but it does contribute to the overall experience of all artists in residence.

Joya’s working languages are English and Spanish.

The length of the residency would be 1 to 2 weeks (longer periods are also available).

The experience of previous resident artists strongly indicates that a two-week residency is much more preferable and productive than one.

The Joya: AiR residency has a fee of €350 per week + tax (10%). This covers the cost of accommodation, studio space and all meals. It also includes collection from the nearest transport hub, Vélez Rubio.

Access to satellite broadband: There is an additional fee of €10 per week (€1.42 per day) please indicate on the application form below if you require internet.

The Joya: AiR minimum deposit is equal to one week's residency €350 + tax (10%) per person or 50% of the fee for longer residency durations.

Application is online. Deadline: 20th of December, 2022.
