The artist residency program provides the ideal combination of living and working in a setting of truly inspirational beauty, consisting of sojourning from 7 to 90 days. This period covers a program based on the personal project proposal presented.

A possible time extension is subject to availability.

Artists with a special interesting project may also have a public event that offers a venue to test their ideas in dialogue with other artists and the general public. Help will be given from La Macina di San Cresci staff to organize a local exhibition on a theme related to their Residency project. An archive of activities is scheduled to be published during the year. It is intended to be representative of the various experiences hosted and produced using photos and texts of artists and events.
