Portugal Residency
Shankay’s program embraces a global perspective, with a non-profit residency in Portugal serving as a gateway to Europe for international artists and a UAE-based operations hub, acting as a nomadic/travelling gallery for worldwide art projects. Shankay is dedicated to amplifying artists’ cultural narratives and building professional recognition while expanding the commercial reach of their work. Together, we cultivate collaboration, ignite awareness, and connect with unconventional audiences to encourage meaningful conversations.
Currently under construction, the Art Residence is scheduled for an early 2025 opening.
