Manifesto

…and it’s time to
find its meaning.


What is Quarantine?

Quarantine is an Art events label run by leading artists and agents provocateurs in Menorca, Spain. We are a community of artists, art lovers, and open-minded humans. Our events include Art labs, talks, masterclasses, “boot camps”, mentorships, networking… and a bit of lovely Spanish wine.

Quarantine was born with the commitment to offer what an academic education, due to its very nature and purpose, cannot: progress as an artist, not as an art student.

How do we do that?

We do not sell people solutions, but instead help them find their own way to unlock their creative potential. We propose a search for knowledge through questioning, experience, and a more profound and genuine exchange of ideas.

Lazaretto island is a refuge where connecting with authenticity is still possible. We provide a loving and nurturing atmosphere where people can express themselves artistically, and where strangers end up feeling like family.

But hey, we do have few rules here…

Rule #1 — Phones are prohibited


Seriously, no exceptions. What happens on the island stays on the island. If you don’t feel ready for this, you best not enroll in this experience.

You will be working hard here. Unleash your attention. Really unplug and connect with what is here and now using your brain, not your phone. You may not think so now, but you’ll thank us for it.

Rule #2 — Admission is curated


This is not a painting holiday. It’s hard. It’s exhausting. It is real. And we just want to be sure that nobody signs up by mistake.

This is why we personally do an individualized participant selection process: we want the most committed people!

Rule #3 — The program is a secret


We’re not trying to be mysterious here. Quarantine is an adventure, and the challenges will remain secret to help you take full advantage of all their benefits.

Having no preconception is essential, so just be open-minded, and expect the unexpected.


Difficulty

Briefly

Quarantine requires a high level of personal commitment and is not recommended for everyone. The program is intense and exhausting, requiring a deeper questioning of beliefs and academic principles.

Participant requirements

  • Be open-minded.
  • Think out of the box.
  • Expect to be taken out of your comfort zone.

What Quarantine is NOT?

Briefly

✚ Quarantine is not a painting holiday.
✚ It’s not an Art retreat.
✚ It’s not learning how to paint like the mentors.

Disclaimer

✚ Quarantine is an extremely demanding experience.
✚ If you are looking for a more traditional workshop and you are not willing to be off your phone all day, you best not sign up for this event.


Lazaretto state of mind

Isolation

Lazaretto is an island within an island, where ideas can also be quarantined. Smartphones are therefore prohibited.

Connection

Lazaretto is the Tortuga Island of artists: a haven, a hideout. A 100% gibberish-free island.

Transformation

We guide artists to help unearth a mindset that unblocks their creative potential.

Philosophy

We don’t have a recipe for creating talent, nor do we have a map of the terrain upon which we walk. But we sense the needle of a compass. We like compasses, not maps; we love time, not clocks; we connect with experiences, not with lessons.

This is what we have learned:

I. Every solution is false

II. Wet artists are not afraid of rain

III. More information is less knowledge

IV. To learn is to disappoint your preconceptions

V. Avoiding chaos makes chaos

VI. “Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone”
