## About This Program

> "Connecting to Patagonia as a natural, historical and cultural environment; a more respectful relationship between Art and Nature"

Autumn places at We-Che Nature Art Residency, on a 2ha slice of landscape crossed by a river near the Welsh-founded village of Trevelin, backing onto a 240ha protected area and the Nant y Fall waterfalls. Open to the Special BOOK project AIR program or the general AIR program: "spend time and space away to retreat, create and rejuvenate, gathering new inspiration, and also participate to a more respectful relationship between Art and Nature." Choose your slot from mid february to end of april and enjoy the gradually changing colors of Patagonia, beautiful lights shifts and still friendly weather.

One place remains in October 2026 (the 5 million tulip field) and one short residency in the two first weeks of December 2026. The general program is designed for autonomous projects; the BOOK project is a half guided residency with gradual individual mentorship focused on achieving a personal book or art book project.
