1. Our motivation for setting up CASAMARLES is to facilitate and help artists and researchers to develop their practice as a social engaged discipline. We believe in the advantages in becoming less reliant on grant aid and moving towards generating the majority of our income from renting the space following the double strategy mentioned above. We can do this by providing affordable working and living space and organizing an AIR Program while being the local agent that facilitates interaction between the participants/tenants and the village.
2. We believe in the promotion of contextual and interdisciplinary strategies of collaboration amongst the participants/tenants of CASAMARLES and the local initiatives existing in the village. We think that this interaction encourages fruitful exchange and promotes understanding and benefits both the artists/researchers and the local community.
3. Facilitate to the participants/tenants of CASAMALES of a unique environment. Llorenc del Penedes is a village with a strong sense of community and vibrant and divers associative movements. We think that to share these experiences is our obligation.
