Artist Residency in Rural Mallorca
A farmhouse in Sa Pobla offering one-month residencies for artists working in printmaking. Eight private rooms, shared studio space, and the quiet inspiration of rural northern Mallorca — just minutes from beaches, mountain towns, and the creative energy of the island.
Casa Gran sits in Sa Pobla, a working agricultural town in northern Mallorca. This is rural Mallorca at its most authentic — markets filled with local produce, narrow streets of honey-colored stone, and the rhythm of a community that's been here for centuries.
Yet you're not isolated. The town plaza is a 10-minute walk, beaches are 15 minutes by car, and Palma is 50 minutes by train. You have access to the entire island while maintaining the focus and quiet that creative work requires.
Northern Mallorca is known for dramatic coastlines, outstanding cycling routes through almond groves and vineyards, and historic towns like Alcúdia and Pollença with their own galleries, restaurants, and creative communities.
10 minutes walking — cafés, markets, local life
15 minutes driving — pristine Mediterranean coastline
50 minutes by train — capital city, galleries, culture
Alcúdia, Pollença (with ports), Búger, Campanet, Llubí
Outstanding area for road and gravel cycling through rural landscapes
Casa Gran has eight private bedrooms spread across three floors. Rooms are allocated based on residency dates and house dynamics — we don't take specific room requests. Each room has its own character, natural light, and workspace.
Private bedroom with desk/workspace • Individual wardrobe and storage • Dedicated refrigerator in shared kitchen • Bed linens and towels provided • WiFi throughout the house
Bathrooms: Three shared bathrooms across the house, shared between 2-3 residents each
Casa Gran is designed for creative community. Shared spaces encourage exchange between residents while maintaining the privacy needed for focused work.
Large outdoor terrace with grill, dining areas, and garden spaces. Perfect for morning coffee, evening meals, or outdoor working when the weather allows.
Designed for communal cooking with individual storage. Each resident has their own refrigerator. Pantry space, quality equipment, and room for group meals or solo cooking.
Washing machines and drying areas. Cleaning supplies and household essentials provided. Bicycle storage available.
Living room with seating, books, and space for gathering. Dining table for shared meals. Quieter corners for reading or conversation.
Open-plan artist studio separate from living quarters. Four dedicated work areas, printmaking equipment, and 24/7 access.
An 8m × 4m open-plan studio with four designated artist work areas. Equipped for screen printing, digital large-format printing, and linograph work. Natural light, good ventilation, and 24-hour access.
The studio is set up for printmaking specifically. If your practice requires additional equipment or materials, discuss this in your application — we can often accommodate specific needs or help you source what's required.
Casa Gran operates in partnership with EDICIÓ, an ultra-luxury creative atelier specializing in limited-edition art, bespoke publishing, and artisanal design. This partnership offers residents the opportunity to have their work professionally published and distributed.
Residents may apply to have their work published by EDICIÓ as limited-edition prints. If selected, EDICIÓ handles all production costs, professional certification, and distribution through their gallery network in London and beyond.
This is optional — you can complete your residency purely as studio time, or you can pursue publication. Artists who are published share revenue from print sales and are featured in EDICIÓ's annual journal.
Casa Gran accepts applications on a rolling basis. Residencies typically begin 3-6 months from application date. We look for artists committed to printmaking who will contribute to the community dynamic of the house.
