About the residency

Nocefresca is an artist residency program based in the rural landscape of Sardinia, Italy, with a satellite presence in Milan. Founded in 2016 by a collective of artists and curators, it emerged as a response to the need for slow, process-oriented creative exploration away from urban centers. The program's name—meaning 'fresh walnut'—evokes a connection to nature, growth, and the unpolished potential of new work. Nocefresca's core mission is to provide artists with time, space, and critical support to develop projects that engage with the local environment, community, and broader contemporary discourses. The residency emphasizes sustainability, site-specificity, and interdisciplinary exchange, inviting participants to immerse themselves in the rhythms of rural life while producing work that is both personally meaningful and socially relevant.

Planning your application

Artists interested in Nocefresca should first review the residency's thematic focus and past projects to ensure alignment with its ethos. Applications are typically accepted via an open call, requiring a project proposal, portfolio, and statement of intent. Emphasize how your practice would benefit from the rural context and how you might engage with the local community and environment. The selection committee values clarity of purpose, openness to collaboration, and a willingness to embrace the residency's slow pace. For the Nocefreschissima short-stay program, highlight what you aim to achieve in a condensed timeframe. While there is no strict deadline for inquiries, it is advisable to apply well before your intended residency period. Financial considerations vary; some grants or fee waivers may be available, so inquire directly. Above all, demonstrate genuine interest in the specific opportunities and constraints of a rural residency.
