Description
Located in Capaccio Paestum, Tenuta Valente is a charming villa surrounded by the lush countryside of the Cilentan Coast, in the Campania region, Southern Italy.
Rich in history, culture, and naturalistic beauty, Cilento has inspired artists through cultures and the millennia, and through the Arts Residency Program the organisers seek to keep the flame of inspiration alive, as they are just a step from the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park and the Archaeological Park of Paestum and Velia, among the most significant and best-preserved ancient Greek sites in the Mediterranean, recognised as World Heritage Site of UNESCO in 1998.
Through the Residency Program, artists are invited to stay and work in a peaceful, bucolic environment.
Tenuta Valente Arts Villa welcomes professional artists of all disciplines seeking an ideal place to cultivate creativity and immerse themselves in art and nature. During the residency, each artist is provided with a private en-suite bedroom and access to a shared 200-square-metre studio.
The purpose is to offer artists a serene and comfortable setting for creativity and artistic dialogue, surrounded by inspiring natural landscapes and a territory rich in history and culture. The residents can dedicate time to their practice, exchange ideas, and find renewed inspiration through meaningful engagement with the local art community.
Outcome
There is no production requirement for the residency. However, presentations, workshops or exhibitions are welcome and can be organised at the request of and in collaboration with the resident. The artist will be invited to discuss their work and the residency impact on their creative process.
Accommodation Information
The Arts Villa offers five en-suite bedrooms for residents:
On the ground floor, there is one double room and one larger room that can accommodate between two and four guests. These rooms are fully accessible and free of architectural barriers.
On the first floor, there are three double rooms.
Artists are welcome to share the residency experience with their partners, children, or friends. Please note that fees will be adjusted according to the number of guests.
The organisers love animals but are unable to allow pets to stay.
Studio Information
The organisers wish to create a warm and welcoming environment where artists can focus, create, and connect. The studio is the soul of the Arts Villa: a shared 200-square-metre workspace designed to inspire collaboration, dialogue, and the development of individual projects, while fostering a sense of community among residents.
