Who is it aimed at? – The projects are aimed at artists, curators, composers, and other figures linked to the world of art and culture.
Who chooses the artists and how? – The selection is made by the curator and is based on works created over the years, but also on recent works in the case of emerging artists.
What does each residency project involve? – Living and working in nature means questioning the landscape and context, considering the complexity of the 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, there are group activities (excursions, visits, workshops, seminars, yoga or shamanism sessions, performances, etc.). The residency includes basic materials for working, some group dinners, accommodation, transfer service, and the final exhibition.
How much interaction will I have with the curator during my residency? – The curator will be on site and available for any questions or advice. In addition, the Primo Piano staff is available for all other needs.
What kind of accommodation does Baroque Blue offer? – Depending on the project, participants are accommodated in marinas between the Ionian and Adriatic coasts in seaside villas or in rural settings such as farmhouses, estates, and Trulli. 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). All accommodations have an outdoor patio with a garden or pine forest for working, parking, a washing machine, free Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and much more.
Are the residency dates flexible? – No, the residency dates are set by the program and last a maximum of two weeks each. Residencies are generally organized during the summer: from June to mid-October. Occasionally, they are also organized at other times of the year, depending on the season and the thematic program.
How many artists are in residency with Primo Piano? – A maximum of 15 artists is accepted for each project.
What is the minimum age for residents? – Primo Piano accepts residents aged 22+
I am an artist and would like to participate. What should I do? – To participate in our projects, you will need to send your CV and a link to your website. If your work is in line with the theme of the residency, we will send you the program outline and application form.
I am not a visual artist. Can I apply? – We welcome applications from other creative practices.
Can I bring a family member or friend? – The residency is also open to couples and artist friends. Family members are welcome to participate.
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.
How do I contact the curator? – Once you have been accepted as a resident, we will create a WhatsApp group where artists and the curator can meet and get to know each other better before arrival. The group will also be used for information during and after the residency.
Costs and Grants – Primo Piano is a cultural management that is supported by its members’ fees and is also open to new members. The cost depends on the program, accommodation, and month of the year. We are happy to assist artists seeking grants or other forms of funding in their home country or institution by providing a letter of invitation once an applicant has been accepted.
