Individual Residency Programme, Italy: TAKING TIME / PRENDENDO TEMPO

An Individual Residency provides uninterrupted periods of time in the beautiful environment of Collemacchia in Italy's Molise region, home to Tracy's Italian family for centuries. The community is situated in the outstanding National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, a protected area of exceptional significance and beauty.

There is no expectation of a final outcome of the residency. Whether you wish simply to be up close to your practice, allow nature to suffuse your thinking and feeling, produce new work or complete a project, at The Museum of Loss and Renewal the utmost will be done to ensure that you can achieve what you set out to do.

Residents receive support and informal mentoring from Tracy and Associates during the residency period, and ongoing support after the residency.
