ABOUT US:
We are an artistic and cultural non-profit association center located in the heart of Puglia, amidst the charming countryside of Conversano. Housed in an ancient masseria, once dedicated to working the land, it now promotes art and culture through artist residencies for painters, sculptors, photographers, video artists, and performers who wish to immerse themselves in Puglia’s rich cultural heritage and contribute to its evolution.
The association stands out for its sustainable approach and deep respect for Puglia’s folk and artisanal traditions. Here, art intertwines with ecology and technology, creating a fusion of past and future that enriches both the region and its visitors. Founded by Fabrizia and Jacques, our association came to life in 2019 following a careful process of restoration and preservation. This unique place has become a dynamic and creative hub where art is experienced in all its forms, fostering an ongoing exchange between artists and the local community.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We are looking for WorkAwayers to join us in April, and May 2025 to help us with spring cleaning at the masseria.
During these periods, we will not be organizing any events or hosting artists due to necessary maintenance. For this reason, we are looking for WorkAwayers to join us.
We need proactive and hardworking people who enjoy nature, animals, and outdoor activities.
Housekeeping is also part of the tasks, including cleaning and tidying up—so be ready for a variety of activities ! 🌞
If you can cook vegetarian or vegan meals, even better! (We do not eat fish and meat!)
We love cooking and sharing our traditional Puglian recipes.
If you’re ready to embark on this beautiful adventure, don’t hesitate to contact us!
