The Sacatar Residency offers eight week residencies from May to February. The Instituto Sacatar provides unstructured time and space for creative individuals to develop new work. Specifically, a Fellowship to Sacatar provides: • Roundtrip airfare between the artist's closest regional airport and Salvador, Bahia, Brazil • A private bedroom with attached bath • A separate studio • All meals (except on Saturday night, all day Sunday and holidays)
The residency is in a somewhat primitive location and the foundation encourages artists to work primitively - that is, simply and directly with few complex tools, materials or technologies. They have limited or no facilities or equipment for dance, theater, photography, music, video or film. For residents of the U.K., there is a program through the British Council that generously funds artists with proposals to produce work in Brazil: www.artistlinks.org.br. These proposals can be for anywhere in Brazil and for the length of time desired by the applicant and can include multiple residencies, including time at the Instituto Sacatar.
For more information about Instituto Sacatar, write to: Instituto Sacatar, Rua da Alegria 10 Itaparica BA 44460 Brasil or email: info@sacatar.org or visit the website at: www.sacatar.org.
