Our international residencies for ceramicists, visual artists and writers include a semi-private equipped studio, accommodation in the historical center of Rome, and technical assistance in procuring materials for your work, firings, etc., advice on museums, galleries and sites in Rome and beyond.​ The final group show gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work produced during the residency.

The cost of residencies in the historic center of Rome or in the Roman countryside is based on the length of the residency. For collaborative projects, two artists can share the housing and studio space in the Roman countryside. In that case, each artist will pay a reduced fee. Materials and firing costs are not included and will be deducted from the security deposit. We offer a number of additional perks such as help with travel arrangements and airport pick-ups, museum reservations etc.
