# Pottery Farm Residency in the heart of the South West of France

**Hosted by:** Pottery Farm Gallery

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Pottery Farm Gallery, Gurs, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France | **Deadline:** September 20, 2026

## About This Program

We're located in the heart of the Gers region, on the northeastern edge of Gascony, just 40 minutes from the lively city of Toulouse. Set on a hill surrounded by nature with stunning views of the Pyrenees on a clear day, our space is tucked away from main roads, providing the perfect environment for inspiration and focus. The only sounds you'll hear are birds singing and the wind rustling through the trees. It's truly a peaceful, natural retreat where you can focus on yourself, your projects, your rest, and your inspiration. Residencies last 2 weeks. We offer a private room in the large farmhouse which is set on a hillside with 360° views of rolling hills and the entire Pyrénées mountain range on a clear day. We host up to four residents at a time and offer four different options for working and sleeping in the main house, along with separate communal and private spaces for work. Shared and Private Workspaces: beyond these private rooms, we offer common and individual spaces to further inspire your projects. The Studio Gallery: A bright, shared workspace where you can enjoy a designated area to work and stay inspired alongside others. There are no specific expectations towards the artist. This residency is designed exclusively for individuals fully engaged in their creative work, ensuring that all residents can concentrate deeply on their projects without distractions.
