PADA Studios is an independent, not-for-profit, artist-led organisation based in Barreiro, on the south bank of Lisbon. The international residency at PADA welcomes applications from artists in a variety of media for a duration of 1 or 2 months. The residency is primarily self led and artists are expected to be self sufficient. The supplementary programme at PADA is designed to introduce artists to the area, to the Lisbon art scene and to encourage dialogue between those in residence. Artists are provided with large studio space and accommodation in a private double bedroom. The international residency hosts 10 artists at a time and the residency as a whole welcomes 13, including the other programmes.
