Cel de Nord is an art residency site located in the Catalan countryside. It offers online and in person residency programs to researchers and artists related to specific themes, spanning from women studies, heritage and AI. The residency site is run by volunteers.
Cel del Nord offer online or in person residencies in an inspiring environment dominated by nature and picturesque views. Artists are provided with accommodation, breakfast and transportation, in a workspace equipped with technical material and a distraction-free, inspiration-rich space to do extraordinary creative work.
The call invites creatives without expecting a production of a final work. However, every residency proposes a set of themes, such as agriculture, AI, Roman settlements or womanhood, and artists are encouraged to explore these topics.
Cel del Nord exists in a private building. The residency is run – everything from the processing of applications to cleaning the artist’s flat – by volunteers. Their website and other costs are met by voluntary contributions from residents and by holding paid online workshops.
