Nocefresca is a residency that brings together artists, designers, writers and creative nomads from around the world. We were born in 2020 and our objective is for artists to focus on their projects while experiencing the inspiring environment of Sardinia island, Italy, rich in nature, history and culture.
We're launching a new programme in 2023: we like to call it Nocefreschissima! Hard to translate, easier to unfold it in a few sentences. It will bring you to Milis (Sardinia island, Italy), to spend a two-week period alongside our monthly artists in residence. A desktop in the communal areas of our studios building will be your working environment, a bedroom in a shared flat your accommodation. Do you enjoy self-directing your work within a rural, community-based setting? Nocefreschissima is great for you who need to:
Enjoy a rural environment
You are a digital nomad who want to work in a quiet community-centred village
Research and work outdoors
You are an artist who wants to get inspired by the Sardinian landscape and community. Working mainly outdoors or at the computer, for you a desktop is enough
Have a break
Your daily routine is making you tired and you want to be surrounded by creative people
Take a peek
You are curious to see how Nocefresca works, but don't have time to spend a whole month with us
Join our community
This short-stay initiative runs parallelly to our main residency programme. Therefore, during your stay you will be able to spend time and share activities with the other artists in residence
Refresh your experience
You have been at Nocefresca previously and now you want to come back to complete your project, further develop it, or just visit old friends!
