Our Residency Program
Immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquility of La Collina Artist Residency. Our program offers artists the opportunity to escape the distractions of everyday life and focus on their creative pursuits. With uninterrupted time and a supportive environment, you can energize your artistic practice and bring your visions to life. Studio space is provided if needed. A photography studio with professional lighting is available.
Here is a view of our studios and exhibit space ( minus worktables and stools).
Who is encouraged to apply?
The residency will be selective to those who can benefit from the working environment provided. Self-directed visual artists and writers in early, mid-career to mature career stages, who find this quiet space inspiring, will be encouraged to apply. Applicants are not judged on perceived artistic ability. We may be able to accommodate your significant other for a reduced rate.

Thank you, Kathryn! Kathryn was part of a large group (32!) that I had the pleasure of organizing near Peccioli.
