- What is Baroque Blue for? The art residency is an educational program run by Primo Piano and a stage for artists seeking inspiration and wishing to enjoy a unique experience in contact with nature and other artists. The residency becomes a tool for co-creation and collective action to transform the imagination.
- Who is Baroque Blue aimed at? The projects are aimed at artists in all creative fields, including but not limited to visual arts, choreography, writing, music composition, and performance. National and international emerging and mid-career artists are welcome to apply.
- What does each residency project involve? Living and working in nature means questioning the landscape and context, taking care to consider the complex relationships that exist between the environment and human settlements. The projects are conceived and directed by the curator on site Dores Sacquegna. In addition to working on the proposed theme, group activities are planned (excursions, visits, workshops, boat trip, yoga or shamanism etc.) The residency includes basic materials for working on site, the final exhibition and more.
- What kind of accommodation does Baroque Blue offer? Depending on the project, participants are accommodated in villas between the Ionian and Adriatic coasts. The residency allows them to live away from their daily routine and focus on production and storytelling about the places. Artists can choose between a single room, a shared room, or a double room (for couples).
- Can I bring a family member or friend? The residency is open to artists only, but in exceptional cases can accommodate family members. You can share your experience with other artist friends.
- Do you accept artists with disabilities? Although some of our accommodations are located on the ground floor, the projects are not entirely accessible to people with mobility issues because they include hiking and other activities.
- Do you help before and after the residency? Yes. In collaboration with local providers, we help with accommodation in B&Bs or hotels (before or after the residency) and a shuttle transfer service for those arriving from the airport/train station and returning.
- Do all residencies include a final exhibition? Yes, Baroque Blue is an art residency and focuses mainly on contemporary art. Our events are widely advertised in local newspapers and national magazines such as La Repubblica, Exibart, Il Quotidiano, etc. More info here
