# Time and Space

**Hosted by:** Maison Les Buis

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Maison Les Buis, Feuillade

## About This Program

Maison Les Buis lies in a peaceful hamlet in South West of France. The building originally belonged to a local abbey, retaining still the energy of peace and simplicity.

It is a quiet, rural, dreamy space to live and work. By hosting up to three artists at a time, we offer an environment that feels familiar and personal.

This residency is about giving yourself space and time to step away from the rush, to think afresh and to let something genuine emerge. No programme, no curriculum - just time, stillness and room to follow your own thread.

Applications are rolling, write to us at contact@maisonlesbuis.com — tell us what motivates you; why Maison Les Buis suits your practice and what you would like to work on. There is no formal process - just a conversation.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
