The Artist's Residency program in Montecastello di Vibio, Italy provides the ideal combination of seclusion and community in a setting of truly inspirational beauty. Overlooking the lush Tiber River Valley, Montecastello di Vibio is a gorgeous medieval hill town in the province of Perugia, halfway between Rome and Florence. Artists can work intensively and independently for three or more weeks in a supportive and intimate environment. The Residence Program also enables students to continue to work and progress independently. A distinguished member of the International School faculty joins us as Senior Artist in Residence and studio critic.

Our weekly trips to Italy's cities of art inspire and inform the work in the studio. A model poses in the drawing room for four-hour sessions, three days a week. And in the dining room, residents enjoy home-cooked meals together and develop a close sense of community.

This program is perfect for faculty on sabbatical. A final resident’s exhibition in the school’s gallery, which will be attended by local artists and people from the surrounding area, concludes the program.
