ORIGINS

In 2007 visual artist Iris Tonies and writer and entrepreneur Arnout Krediet, sailed their ship around Europe to dock in Barcelona. They created an artist co-working studio and exhibition space for international artists. Here Iris took a mentor student under her wing preparing her for art school. This first project attracted attention by the Life Long Learning program of the European Government. This sparked Arnout & Iris to start an intimate scale art school in their co-working space. Their remaining co-workers became teachers, and the space became our community based, immersive, studio art school Estudio Nomada.

In 2014 Iris and Arnout added to the nomadic family. They restored a gigantic 1000 square
meter wine farm, situated in the paradisaical
Cava area Penedes. Since 2015 this former wine estate, has been a residency for professional artists called Mas Els Igols. A maximum of 10 artists are welcome to stay and work on
their artistic endeavors.

In 2017 the academy up scaled to a building with a professional exhibition space in a central location next to the Arc de Triomf. Today a maximum of 20 students can study there on a daily basis. Both residents and students get the chance to exhibit work in the gallery district of Barcelona.
