Prisma Estúdio Lisboa (Prisma Estudio)
Lisbon, Portugal
My experience at Prisma Estúdio was very enriching on a human and artistic level. The residency has a strong sense of community and encourages exchange, conversation, and experimentation, which helped me approach my practice with more freedom and less pressure. Being based in Lisbon also made it easy to connect with a wider cultural scene and meet artists from different backgrounds. The program is quite self-directed, so it works best if you are comfortable managing your own time and expectations. My advice to future residents is to be proactive, participate in events and open studios, and arrive with a clear intention while staying open to where the experience might lead.

The apartment they have residents stay at is on an incredibly male-populated street with men flooding the main street at all times. I did not want to walk outside at night and did not feel safe on the street. The organizers flounder and seem to not know what they're doing. It's run by volunteers but that doesn't mean you can charge artists money and then go AWOL. They have random guys come in to give critique on your work which is frankly unwelcome when the work is personal or feminist. It would have been cheaper to rent an apartment for a month and I wish I would have.
run by volunteers space, they give residents free access and discounts to their music events concerts etc and workshops, nice central location, rooms are big and lots of light. we have a big studio space downstairs and everyone is really nice! would def come back again if i have the opportunity
Great experience, perfect place to create and meet others artists
Good location in the center of Lisbon, they have a large space to work in and the rooms are in the same building
