The main airport of Barcelona is 50min by car. We are located 1 hour by car from Barcelona and Tarragona. The pool and the many, varied terraces and outside spaces provide plenty of areas for contemplation or relaxation, privately or shared.įor further inspiration, there are many wonderful places to visit in the surroundings… a cultural context to anchor the work whilst at the Residence – the many excellent local walks and places easily accessed by bicycle, and easy trips – to visit Monserrat for the stunning walking and spiritual energy, the Coast for its beaches and restaurants, and the Local Wineries, 10th century Castle of Mediona, the many medieval Monasteries…Ī first-hand experience of this particular local culture in this particular environment is simply a part of being at Blue Cactus.īlue Cactus is +350m above sea level in the Alt Penedes region. We also have a patio dining and work area with a table for 6 people which can be used for group work and communal meetings and socialising as required We have a galley kitchen with a large dining and social area for 8 people. The private working spaces consist of individual tented studios in spectacular locations, the painting studio and the sculpture workshop. The accommodation consist of three private double bedrooms with shared communal spaces. We are a rural Residency located in 12 acres of stunning countryside in the Alt Penedes, with pine forests and vineyards, with almond and walnut trees, all framed by the majestic mountain of Monserrat, a strong spiritual centre. The role of the Artist is more vital than ever. The devastation of the environment by human activity affects us all in spite of so many years trying to work towards a great awareness. Such strategies can be as simple as changing working hours more in sync with nature, to set a different artistic clock. We encourages changing daily routines to find new paths to imagination and creative process. Being far removed from everyday environment allows the Artist to investigate their routines and work practice. We encourage Artists to immerse themselves in Spanish rural life, in private creative spaces. The residency creates an environment for the Artist in their personal growth, while reinforcing that an end product is not necessarily the principal focus. Blue Cactus emphasizes the human experience. A place without judgement, where all Artists have freedom to express, without explaining or justifying themselves. The concept is to offer the Artist the inspiration of nature iteself. The Residency is designed to enfold the Artist in the natural world, not just glimpsed at through a window, but inserted into the landscape itself without barriers. Name of Residency: Blue Cactus Spain – Artist Residencyīlue Cactus Art Residency is a retreat for Artists of many disciplines, to encourage exploration and production, in a unique inspirational environment.īlue Cactus’ mission is to be a centre of artistic nurture, offering the Artist a rare place to create in a direct way with nature.
