Spanjola Fortress is active this year too and is getting richer in its activities. 

We announce the invitation to participate in the "Artist in Residence" program. All interested, motivated and creative people are invited to apply for an art workshop. The selected group will work on arranging the fortress, and in addition it will participate in interesting lectures, Eco kitchen and informational excursions, in the municipality of Herceg Novi. The theme of this year's project is “Object”. It is in our interest, to, with a limited budget, realize the idea/project, which, through the artistic expression of the participants in the workshop, will give Spanjola, the purpose and the name toward which we are aiming, which is The Art Residence. Artist in Residence program will be held during the European Heritage Day 2018, organised by the Ministry of Culture.

We are very pleased to announce the first BASHKË ART CAMP, which will take place from the 9th to the 16th of September 2018 in the historic center of Gjirokastra in Albania.
