About

LEA (Lab of Experimental Art) is a cutting-edge cultural organization located in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to creating a sustainable, authentic, and kind world of art. LEA provides a dynamic and collaborative environment where artists can push the boundaries of their creative practices. The organization offers two types of residency programs: Stays, which allow artists to share workspace in a rotating schedule over a minimum of six months, and Full-Time Residencies, offering a dedicated workspace for three months for artists needing intensive work hours. LEA supports its artists through a 200-square-meter facility equipped with specialized labs, a gallery for experimentation, a library, and a living/meeting room. The program emphasizes professional growth, offering workshops, mentorship, and opportunities for exhibitions and networking with galleries, museums, and patrons. LEA is committed to inclusivity and offers grants and discounts to emerging artists under 35, helping to make participation accessible to a broader range of creatives. Through its residency programs, LEA fosters an environment that encourages experimentation, collaboration, and the re-evaluation of artistic practices.
