Isla de Crear is a creative centre, combining a range of disciplines, to explore creating
and crafting in a new method, away from commercial constraints or industry
guidelines, based on the principles of the Fantasism manifesto.

The centre is located in Úbeda, in the Jaén region of Andalusia, southern Spain,
where the sun is out 300 days of the year, in the middle of the Sea of Olives, with no
neighbours for miles, just outside Úbeda, a UNESCO world heritage site and home to
a buzzing community of artisan craftspeople and many cultural events.

The residency call out
For our new call-out, we are looking for artists, craftspeople, thinkers and creatives
from all different fields to explore the theme:

Embracing Our Differences invites artists worldwide to submit their unique perspectives for our juried outdoor exhibition. Featuring 50 powerful, billboard-sized images, this showcase explores the theme of “embracing our differences” through thought-provoking art.

Selected works will be displayed across Sarasota and Pinellas counties, Florida, from mid-January to mid-April 2026, inspiring dialogue among thousands of visitors.

This call is open to all—professional and amateur artists of all ages. Don't just create art; create impact.
