The Caldas da Rainha Municipality (CRM), Caldas da Rainha Arts and Design School, from Polytechnic Institute of Leiria (ESAD.CR) and the Chair in Arts and Culture Management of the same Institute propose to organize two international residences in the ceramic area, having already adopted a Regulation to that effect.

These artistic residencies will be held annually and are intended for international artists from other UNESCO Creative Cities outside Portugal.

During the residency period, moments of opening of the studios to the community will be scheduled, allowing the sharing of processes and other interactions considered relevant during this experience, including visits to studios and collaboration with local ceramic artists.
