PADA is an artist-led, non-profit arts organisation based in Barreiro in Lisbon’s South Bay, located within the old Companhia União Fabril (CUF) industrial park. Create in 2018, PADA provides artists a space to develop their practice, interact with other artists, and explore new approaches in a post-industrial environment.
The PADA Residency Programme is run in conjunction with the Studio & Gallery Programmes. By providing studios for local artists alongside the residency, we aim to encourage the interaction of national and international artists. Artists-in-Residence benefit from the mutual exchange across art-forms and the post-industrial surrounding.
At PADA, we promote interaction with the local community through projects and artistic interventions that engage with their environment. We aim to create a more sustainable residency and encourage artistic practices that share this ethos.
Over the last three years, PADA has worked with over 180 artists from more than 20 countries, counting 135 residencies. As part of the Studio & Gallery Programmes, PADA has organized more than 30 exhibitions and every month, we open our doors for a collective exhibition showcasing the work developed by the current Artists-in-Residence.
