Being affiliated with the Alliance of Artists Communities has added immeasurable value to the Djerassi Resident Artists Program. As a founding institution, we have had the opportunity to watch the Alliance mature to become the leading force for the field that is reaping huge benefits in visibility and direct support. Creating networks with our peers, advancing our collective missions, providing funding partnerships and caring about our issues are the Alliance’s strengths, and the value that we, as membership residency programs, gain from our association.

Itaparica, BrazilThe INSTITUTO SACATAR is located on the island of Itaparica in the Bay of All Saints, across from the first capital of Brazil: Salvador, Bahia. Our program provides international transportation, a private room with attached bath, a separate studio and meal service to qualifying artists. Residency sessions generally last eight weeks.
Artists are encouraged to immerse themselves in the culture of Bahia, with its cross-currents from African, Portuguese and indigenous sources. Artists can work on their own, but Sacatar also provides logistical support for artists to work with local and regional individuals or groups on specific projects.
