Bread & Salt 2025 Artist in Residence

De Liceiras 18 is a monthly-based project, open for visual artists, designers, conceptual gardeners, experimental writers, sound hunters, improvisatory singers, performers, philosophers and (...) who would like create in an old wood house in the center of Porto. We welcome the creatives who are enthusiastic about spending one (or more) months within an exchange-based micro-art-community - learning, teaching, discussing and breaking any preconceptions; who are not afraid to erase barriers between private and public, to live and create in the same space; who are able to take inspiration from both possibilities and impossibilities, obstacles and miracles brought about by creating in such an informal, experimental, no-budget and anti-white-box space.

  
Every month, DL18 hosts between 4 and 7 artists with diverse backgrounds, forming an ever-changing, dynamic temporary art community in the city of Porto.

  
**THE IDEA**

  
The way you use your stay within our Temporary Art Community depends mostly on your current artistic needs and desires. So far it has served among others as a platform for spontaneous collaborations, learning new skills, exchanging feedback, experimental music sessions, reading groups, improvised performance, communal cooking etc. We are the backyard of the art world, a safe multidiscipline playground where you can test your ideas, ask questions, share your doubts. We transform, adapt and improve every month and we expect you to embrace this process.

  
This open structure leaves a lot of freedom and flexibility, but also requires an involved and responsible participation from all the residents. It is an ongoing attempt to find ways to solve problems collectively, communicate honestly and clearly. It is also a constant reinvention of structures to find the most efficient, pleasant, creative communal living environment.

  
**SPACE**

  
The DE LICEIRAS 18 is located in a very old, two-story house in Porto, Portugal which seems to organically adapt to the form of the city itself, consisting of no perpendicular lines, with floors sloping and sounds of human and seagull daily life entering through wooden old windows, creating in the interior a constant quasi-musical blend of noises. The house is situated in a very particular place; although right in the middle of the city, its entrance stays hidden in a tiny bystreet, overlooked by tourists and bustling with local life. The everyday reality of the bystreet is even more curious due to a very particular combination of the house’s neighbours, formed of an old shoemaker's workshop, a motorcycle club and a traditional bar. The second façade of the house faces a brothel.

  
Each participating artist receives their own simple habitable atelier.

Each participant will give the minimum monthly contribution of 290€/390€ or 260€/360€ or 230€/330€ depends on sizes of the room chosen.

The Residency Fee includes the accommodation, electricity, gas, water, internet, eco-friendly cleaning detergents and clean beddings.

  
De Liceiras 18 is alive completely because of the very low monthly donation of the residents. It doesn't have a budget to cover the extra material costs of the residents. You will need to cover your own trip to Porto, food and materials. There are some material and equipments in the atelier which you are free to use but always remember to put back where you found it.

  
We have a little garden in the Musas community gardens that you are also welcome to use as a studio or a venue for your project.

Open Call for Exhibitions 2025

**For our 2025 NEW WORK Focus on Los Angeles program, we are seeking applications from Los Angeles-based visual artists. This opportunity offers a $1,000 project commission, an exhibition at Winslow Garage, and a feature in our ONE WORK online publication series.**

  
This grant is designed to support innovative, self-contained projects that can be completed by fall 2025\. We aim to foster a space where artists can push their creative boundaries, take risks, and explore new artistic directions. Projects should need to be fully realized in a space and have not been exhibited previously.

  
This program supports professional artists who have lived in Los Angeles County for at least five years that are not enrolled in undergraduate or graduate programs. We define "professional artists" as those who are at least three years out from their studies—whether that is high school, undergraduate, or graduate school—and have at least three years of professional practice as demonstrated in their bio through exhibitions, residencies, grants, or fellowships. No formal education is required, and self-taught artists are encouraged to apply. We value proposals that demonstrate innovation, professionalism, and an enhancement of the artist’s practice.

  
The selection process includes two phases: an initial review by past grant recipients and curators, followed by a final evaluation by our advisory board and the director of Winslow Garage. Applicants will be assessed on the conceptual strength of their proposals, integration with the exhibition space, and the quality of past work. One artist or collaborative will be selected to bring their project to life, with finalists participating in an online studio visit to provide updates and share more details about their work. 

This opportunity offers a $1,000 project commission, an exhibition at Winslow Garage, and a feature in our ONE WORK online publication series.

At Adobe we’re committed to enabling ‘Creativity for All,’ empowering people everywhere with access to the tools, inspiration and support they need. We established the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund to provide support to creators during times of extraordinary hardship. Because the more perspectives we see, the better the world becomes.

We founded the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund in early 2020, in response to the extensive need in the creative community for support during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. At Adobe we believe that everyone has a story to tell and that those stories deserve to be heard. When we elevate and invest to ensure a broader and more diverse set of voices are heard, we can create change within ourselves, our communities, and the world. In times of uncertainty, people are turning to creative expression to learn, cope and make an impact. That’s why we are committed to leading the way and enabling ‘Creativity for All,’ empowering professional creators of all backgrounds to have access to the tools, skills, and inspiration they need to continue to create stories and share their diverse and unique perspectives.

Since 2022, we have been witnessing the unprovoked, violent attacks on Ukraine and the tragic loss of innocent lives. As we see this tragedy unfold, we believe we have a responsibility to support creators during the growing humanitarian crisis and refugee situation in the region. We are currently focusing our Community Fund efforts on providing support to those creators who have been directly impacted by the unjustified invasion of Ukraine.

If selected, you will receive US$10,000 from the Adobe Creative Residency Community Fund. 

  
While applicants can use the money granted to them by the Community Fund in their full and lawful discretion, the purpose of the award is to allow recipients impacted by the invasion of Ukraine to support themselves and their families during this time of conflict. Selection is determined based on your professional portfolio and whether you have been directly impacted by the attacks on Ukraine. We accept and evaluate applications on a rolling basis.
