We are Mas Palou, a family-run estate that includes a vineyard (yes, we produce our own natural wine!), olive grove, agriturismo, and events venue. Our family has lived here since around year 1500 and we love to share the Mediterranean lifestyle with people from all over the world. Arts and culture got us through the pandemic so we decided to start an art residency to celebrate art and artists. This residency is supported thanks to our guests, individuals and companies, who book stays and retreats at Mas Palou.
We want to thank wineries Bertha, Can Sumoi, Raventós i Blanc, Codorníu, Gramona and Nadal who collaborated offering their products and tours during the last residencies.
We want to invite up to 7 artists / collectives from around the world to spend 11 days at our estate and work on their crafts. Absolutely any artistic discipline is welcome here. Expect to meet amazing people from all over the world, dialogue, time to create and think, food, and wine. Expect to become part of Mas Palou and to meet locals who will blow your mind. Exciting things will happen. You can check some of our highlights on Instagram to get a sense of what the lasts residencies were like.
In return, Mas Palou gets your delightful company and an art contribution from you to us (be it a physical piece, a concert, performance, etc). You can tell us more about it in your proposal.
There will be a final event with press and guests where everyone will share their work.
You can take a look at our Instagram and TikTok to see what some of our last residencies looked like.
