In Reis's own words: "Taking into account all the activities, personal and artistic encounters, future connections, and the whole bunch of smiles generated as result, I think that it fulfilled my goal of bringing together people that I admire for their work and personal character and whose interaction and shared interests I believed could lead to the birth of interesting projects. I believe in building bridges that connect through affection, whether artistic or human. Only the pillar of affection can support such bridges."
The Paulo Reis Residency offers guest artists a studio-workshop where they can develop their work, as well as interactions with other artists and curators. The artists complete the residency with a public exhibition at the Projeto Fidalga space (a non-profit project created by artists Sandra Cinto and Albano Alfonso). Some of the artists that have completed the Paulo Reis Residency include: Patrick Hamilton, Amália Pica, Amelie Bouvier, and Juan José Santos, among others.

The Paulo Reis Residency project is born from the close friendship between Portuguese art critic and curator Paulo Reis, Brazilian artists Sandra Cinto and Albano Alfonso, and Spanish critic and curator David Barro (director of the DARDO periodical). After the death of Reis in 2011, Cinto, Alfonso, and Barro developed a non-profit residency project as a tribute to the unique contributions by Reis as a creator of bridges between Brazil, Portugal and Spain.
