Associated Residency Program

Calling all artists with the desire for quiet time in a natural setting to pursue creative work this summer. 


When we feel connected to the self, we are more alive and spontaneous to the moment and this aliveness arouses imagination and creativity. 


As a spacious, rural and peaceful haven, Maison Les Buis offers an environment that is conducive to making such a connection - an artist’s retreat unbounded by time and sheltered from the hurried energy of the world. 


The aim of this residency is to focus on authenticity and individuality by removing the influence of the crowd and taking time to ‘look’ within and find your own thread, think afresh, set intention without hesitation or doubt, and translate it into action that is true to your unique personality.
