About us
We invite artists working across disciplines to apply for a residency at Vila 31. The selection process values conceptual rigor, collaborative spirit, and commitment to engaging with our community.
"Vila 31 is not a museum or a gallery. It is a living laboratory where artistic practice meets community engagement, where the past informs the present, and where culture becomes a tool for transformation."
— Irene Legrande, Art Explora Paris
