The School of Arts hosts Artist Residencies for the development of research and artistic work in the fields of Visual Arts, Cinema, New Media Art and Sound.

These initiatives fit into the idea of ​​the School as an Art Center, promoting contemporary creation and knowledge, in addition to the articulation between these and the different Study Programs offered, creating an environment of creative sharing and mutual contamination between resident artists and students.

There are 3 Artist Residency programs at the Escola das Artes:

• InResidence, in cooperation with the Porto City Council. Alice Miceli, Letícia Ramos, Matthew C. Wilson, Rosângela Renno and Yuli Yamagata were the most recent residents in this area (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025).
• In cooperation with the Gulbenkian Foundation. Matías Piñeiro was the most recent resident in this area (2020)
• CITAR Residency Programme. Every year, CITAR hosts a variety of filmmakers and artists for six-month or annual residencies as part of their artistic research (with the support of the FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia).
