  Description

  We are a small artist residency in a small village in rural Sicily.
  With a background in events and hospitality, we want to rebuild a small farmhouse develop a garden and safeguard the nature around us. We also have rented two more spaces where we can host, have a trailer and tiny house onsite.
  
  It is and independent project and we still need to build some more structures, plant and maintain vegetable gardens and fruit trees.
  A few animals live on the plots connected and we look after mango and popo the goat, some chciken, a few dogs and cats.
  
  We regularly host small events at local community level and have artists and friends from several countries visiting us.
  
  This is a private project by Kristine, Bertold and Mark - all of which come from the arts.
  All events we do are for friends, and their friends only and on donation basis for cost covering.
  In august 2024 we have registered a no profit association that allows us to do events for members and a monthly market in the village every last sunday of the month.
  
  We like it see our spaces as open containers for ideas and cultural content for locals and visitors alike.
  As artist residency space we regularly host artists form various disciplines working in various projects.
