About the residency
Hosted by Banditto Art, The Banditto Residency Program is a celebration of excellence in art from across the globe. Semi-annually, we offer artists from all over the world the opportunity to join us for a ten day residency (Flights and accommodation are included) in our gallery situated in Tuscany, Italy.
In our endeavour to expand horizons of art and emerging artists, we developed an exceptional artist-in-residency opportunity, providing benefits for envelope-pushing artists of all disciplines. This program affords these artists the opportunity to come and create work in our quaint private Galleria, situated in the heart of one of the most picturesque towns in Tuscany.
The winner receives a travel cheque to the value of 500 euro and accommodation for two valued at 1500 euro for a stay of 10 days. The gallery is transformed into an atelier and the artists have the exclusive opportunity to let their creative juices flow in a peaceful environment.
During your stay as an artist, you will enjoy an incredible experience not only to create art, but also to discover all that Montefollonico has to offer - its amazing people, its sumptuous authentic Italian foods, as well as its beautiful scenic attractions.
In addition, the successful applicants get to share their work with a broader audience, and further their engagement with the international art world. They will be given the opportunity to showcase their work and will also be promoted on various online platforms.
The application has a processing fee, which will only serve to cover the administrative expenses of the selection of candidates and the organization of the residency resources.
