The Art Farm, Goa, India

The Art Farm began in Goa, India, as an experimental space for art, ecology, and community, bringing together artists, farmers, and families through workshops, residencies, and shared living.

Studio Bacalhau is its sister art space in Setúbal, Portugal - continuing the spirit of nurturing creativity, slow processes, and community-led art practices in Europe.
