São João

Founded in 2012 in São José do Vale do Rio Preto/ RJ / Brazil

The São João residency Program is a rural residency focusing on experimentation and multidisciplinary, and establishing dialogue and partnerships among residents. We´re open to all artistic media (music, art, writing, video, etc), as well as all fields of research. We are located in a historic coffee farm from the colonial period, in the beautiful north of Rio de Janeiro. We have a rehearsal space, meeting rooms/lounges, artist studios, offices, a swimming pool and a cascade. The fee includes all meals, accommodation, laundry, cleaning and local transportation. The organization mediates debates, readings, studio visits and trekkings in the surrounding countryside.

Open call for the Third Edition – September 2014
