LE CASTELLET
About
Sigg Art Foundation’s residency program welcomes a cohort of selected artists every year for the spring and summer months. Located in the picturesque area of Bandol, an internationally recognized wine region in the South of France, and surrounded by the cultural development of the French Riviera, the residency sits within hectares of olive trees and vines plantations embellished with natural streams and groves.
The Experience
The South of France Residency is more than just a place to create—it’s a journey of cultural exchange, artistic growth, and personal transformation. Artists are given the freedom to explore their own creative practice while engaging with the local community, gaining new perspectives and insights that enrich their work. Whether it’s through exploring the local vineyards, or simply absorbing the tranquil beauty of the landscape, artists are encouraged to integrate the spirit of Bandol into their artistic journey.
Benefits and Opportunities
By participating in the South of France Residency, artists gain not only a conducive environment for their work but also a wealth of opportunities for professional development and networking. They get to interact with local artists, cultural practitioners, and members of the local community, fostering a sense of shared learning and cultural exchange. The residency program also offers opportunities for artists to showcase their work through exhibitions and public programs, connecting them with a wider audience.
