Our Mission

Cayo Residency facilitates a creative, fulfilling environment for artists by merging the beauty of the natural world, scientific exploration, collaborative conversations, and biology-based research. We have now partnered with CEBIMar Marine Biology Institute and have relocated to the Atlantic Rainforest region of Sāo Sebastiāo, Brazil. Our goal is to provide artists with a variety of stimulating experiences with which they can conceive new projects and deepen their creative practices. By tapping into the intrinsic intelligence, design and beauty of nature, our artists return home as stewards of ecology, stimulated to protect and educate others with their work.
