Last week I had a chance to visit two culturally exciting places opposites in the way of working and location but closely similar in the core with the purpose to enable art.
NEKaTOENEa is situated in Hendaye on French coast in the middle a peaceful Abbadia natural park. It has organised residencies over a decade and hosted tens of visual and performing artists. They offer longer term residencies for artists and writers.

I experienced a total opposite to NEKaTOENEa in Bilbao Arte placed in the vibrant Old Bilbao (Bilbao la Vieja) neighbourhood. BilbaoArte produces various types of activities, exhibitions, seminars, workshops, also supports young artists with grants.
