Artists in Residencia
About The Programme
Art in Deià is everywhere. Through the ages, artists, musicians and writers have retreated into the picturesque village to be inspired by the Tramuntana Mountains, the sublime sea views and the luminous Mediterranean light. Today, La Residencia welcomes emerging artists aspiring to complete a fruitful residence — taking the magic and inspiration of this island and transferring it to fellow creatives and guests who pass through. Discover Artists In Residencia, one of our unique creative programmes.
Our Commitment
