Córtex Frontal is an artist residency in Arraiolos, in the Alentejo region, in the centre-south of Portugal. It was founded in 2015 by Córtexcult, a non-profit cultural association.

Artists working in the visual arts, textile arts, writing and music live and work for a few weeks in a historic house in the centre of town. Each develops their own project at their own pace. The rest happens around the table, in the studios, on trips across the Alentejo and in contact with the local community.
