Our summer residencies in Rome are full, but
there is still a possibility of a one or two month residency in our
studio in the countryside for the months of June, July and August. The
successful applicant(s) will have a one-bedroom house and garden plus a private studio. We provide technical assistance and a final show in our studio in Rome.

This option is particularly attractive for those who want to bring
their partners/spouse or family. The house is a 5-minute drive from the
train station and just 10 minutes from the lake of Bracciano, a popular
holiday spot. We have both low and high-fire kilns and this studio
allows reduction firing too using gas kilns.

The cost is the same as
our Rome residencies. The deadline for applications is 1 May.
Preference will be given to applicants interested in longer periods.

Contact us if you would like more info or for application details. 

Apply now for fall/winter residencies at c.r.e.t.a. rome! Deadline is 15 May 2014.

c.r.e.t.a. rome offers self-funded residencies to ceramicists and visual artists for periods ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months. The residency includes a semi-private equipped studio, private or shared apartments in the historical center of Rome, and technical assistance in procuring materials, firings, etc., advice on museums, galleries and sites in Rome and beyond.

We also have a residency in the countryside near the lake of Bracciano to the north of Rome. The resident is housed in a one-bedroom house with garden and will have a private studio. This option is particularly attractive for ceramicists who work with reduction firing or larger-scale. Collaborative projects are also welcome.

Artists will have the opportunity to focus on their art, whether it be creating a new body of work, expanding a well-established oeuvre or allowing themselves to draw inspiration from their surroundings and the centuries of culture that define the eternal city. In addition, artists will have access to the wealth of galleries and exhibitions in Rome and beyond. Each resident will have an opportunity to present a proposal to exhibit the work produced during the residency period in a final show.

Further info can be found on our web-site. We accept electronic applications sent to [email protected] by 15 May 2014 (15 April for early application).
