Description
La Porte Peinte is an international arts centre located in Noyers sur Serein, a medieval village in Burgundy that is recognized as one of the 100 most beautiful villages in France. Based in a rambling medieval half-timbered building that leans out over the village square like something from a fairy tale, La Porte Peinte offers artists, makers, musicians and writers in residence the opportunity to engage in creative exploration and exchange in an unusually inspiring and supportive environment. There is a gallery, shop and café on the ground floor, allowing for various forms of engagement with the community.
Outcome
For invitational residencies, there may sometimes be a workshop, talk, exhibition, or artwork donation requested.
