Tremenos AR
Tremenos Artist residency
Tremenos is an art residency overlooking beautiful Bay of Kotor in the country of Montenegro, situated in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, nestled among the mountains overlooking the sea. This is a very intimate space designed to support dedicated artists seeking an inspiration and unique space to further their artistic work situated in a spectacular environment.
During the residency, in addition to focused work and air time, hiking trips will be organized to discover the main historical treasures of the area connectting with the wilderness and the mountains/sea and the week will culminate in an art exhibition event at either the premises, a local art gallery space or the nature.
This residency is an extraordinary opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and inhale the inspiration for your art that can transform with history and with nature leaving a mark upon both!

WHO WE ARE
