RUC - Rural Residency for Contemporary Art

RUC is an international artist residency located in the Italian Alps, in Lombardy's Valcamonica valley, welcoming visual artists, musicians and writers from around the world. Housed on a private rural estate amid vineyards and woods, it fosters multicultural dialogue and interdisciplinary exchange between international artists and local rural traditions. RUC partners with the Caffè del Corso Art Lab in nearby Cividate Camuno and the Misztal von Blechinger Foundation in Poland to offer studio space, exhibitions and workshops for its resident artists. It is a member of several prestigious international artist residency networks.
