Fall Call at "Palazzo del Gatto", in the hearth of Italy

Overview
Chateau Orquevaux, an organization known for its residency programs, extends its reach to the Italian countryside with Palazzo del Gatto, situated in Casaprota. This residency offers a generative environment for creative practitioners without the pressure of a fixed deadline, as applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. The setting—a historic palazzo in the heart of Italy—provides a contemplative backdrop for focused work and cross-disciplinary exchange. The residency is open to a broad spectrum of creative fields, including visual arts, performance, writing, and architecture, among others. While no funding is provided, the opportunity allows artists to immerse themselves in a supportive community and draw inspiration from the Italian landscape and culture. The lack of a deadline suggests a flexible, ongoing invitation to those who can independently support their stay. Palazzo del Gatto's curatorial vision emphasizes process over product, encouraging residents to explore new directions without the constraints of a thematic brief. The residency is suited for those who thrive in a self-directed, communal atmosphere and who seek the time and space to develop their practice away from urban distractions.
