Jentel awards residencies to artists, writers, and composers who are focused and serious about their intent, who may have proven themselves by publication, exhibition or performance or who may not necessarily be well advanced in their work, but who have developed a personal vision or voice. The program welcomes visual artists in all media and writers in fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry and composers in all genres of music.

The key element in the Multi-Residency program is the opportunity to create, collaborate and explore different artist spaces in the city during the residency period.

During the Multi-Residency the artists will spend the first two weeks of residency in the Casa R.A.R.O. studios where they will lay out the bases of their project and will have the curatorial guidance of the entire team for the optimal development of their residency. Afterwards, artists will be able to choose between one or two studios from the R.A.R.O. network specialized in different artistic techniques to delve into the technical aspects of the project. This will also allow them to get to know different artistic production spaces in Barcelona, while sharing their projects and generating connections with different artists, curators and other people involved in the artistic and cultural sphere of the city.

Within the studios of the R.A.R.O. network artists will be able to find a wide variety of artistic techniques that vary from the most traditional ones such as painting, sculpture and printmaking, to new media, video art, installation and performance.

The Multi-Residency works as a platform to connect residents with local and international artists, while they work and deepen their work and the professionalization of their artistic career.

Chateau d'Orquevaux is an Award Winning International Artists & Writers Residency running year in France.

Our mission is to create an international environment where all artists are welcome. A safe place to explore, contemplate and share ideas. A place without judgement, where all artists are free of explaining themselves. We aim to empower the creative spirit in its many forms, which in the process, has created a vibrant artistic community.

The Chateau d'Orquevaux Artist Residency emphasizes the human experience and the creative process. The residency creates an environment for the artist in their quest for personal growth and artistic expression, while reinforcing, that the end product is not necessarily the principal focus.

We believe life is a creative journey and consider every moment a part of the process.

New experiences stimulate creativity and revitalize the creative mind. For this reason our residency is self-motivated. The artist must immerse themselves in the French country lifestyle.

The things you thought you knew back home will begin to look different.

​This magnificent estate in the French countryside of Champagne-Ardenne is a unique environment, offering artists a place with limited distraction, plenty of food and an abundance of natural inspiration.

Sitka residencies provide time and space for self-paced work and reflection in an inspiring natural setting. Residents from  a broad range of art, writing, performance and science-based practices come to Sitka to create and explore away from the familiar contexts and constraints of daily routines, and free from external expectations. Located within the unique ecosystems of Cascade Head and the Salmon River Estuary on Oregon's central coast, Sitka is a place where natural curiosity is sparked and creativity is unleashed.

Since our founding, we have hosted hundreds of visual artists, photographers, writers, journalists, musicians, composers, filmmakers, educators, community organizers and a broad range of natural scientists and interdisciplinary creatives. We currently invite 30-50 practitioners to stay at Sitka each year. Some are emerging voices while others are practicing professionals, and our residents represent a diversity of geographies and cultural backgrounds. A range of personal and shared experiences are possible at Sitka, from sanctuary and solitude to cross-pollination and community. 

Sitka is committed to equity, welcoming people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences, and acknowledges that stepping away from day to day life to spend extended time in nature may be a more complex undertaking for some. From climate change and environmental justice to systemic racism and economic inequality, diverse perspectives help spark new ideas and collaborative approaches to address today's challenges in creative ways. Bringing together people from different backgrounds and fields of expertise is core to Sitka's art and ecology mission, and we strive to overcome barriers to create a safe and secure setting for our practitioners to experience our unique environment.
