ATELIER
Three creative areas between Valencia city and the sea: a sound studio, a 2D design & animation space, and an upper floor dedicated to painting, surrounded by the huerta just minutes from the centre.
Inspired by independent collectives in Germany, the space was born to be shared through mutual support and honest sustainability: neither a traditional company nor a space that romanticizes precarity.
How We Open L'Estudi
- Intensive workshops: In-house and guest artist courses in sound and visual arts. Accessible pricing and mutual support (we accept contributions from those with greater financial capacity to help sustain the space).
- Piano rentals: Two pianos available by the hour for rehearsing or composing (one also available to rent for concerts).
- Artistic residencies (1 week – 2 months): A technical and creative refuge with full access to equipment and personalized mentoring.
L'Estudi is a real creative laboratory and a shared tool. If you have a proposal, write to us.
