Call for Artists: Sculpture for Rewilding Villages
Rewilding Portugal is looking for an artist or team of artists to create a large-scale sculpture for Vilar Maior, the first Rewilding Village of the Greater Côa Valley. The piece must be inspired by an emblematic species of rewilding fauna or flora in Portugal and/or the Greater Côa Valley, using natural, reused or sustainable materials. Open to artists of legal age, national or foreign. Includes a grant of €2,500 + VAT, plus accommodation and meals. Applications open from 12 August to 12 September 2026.
