NML RESIDENCY
We invite you to our seaside residency on Via Purgatorio in Calabria, Italy.
The house is made up of two 17th century buildings situated atop the old town, surrounded by beautiful mountains, kind people and a quiet life.
We put a lot of love and thought into this place over the course of two years of renovations, and hope that it can be a refuge for the artist’s soul.
Ideally, your time on Purgatorio, out of time and away from everything,
will open up some space and help you create.
PROGRAMS

No Man's Land in partnership with Curation hour
A 4 day program designed for artists to disconnect, take a breather and meet with a mentor and a slected group of professionals

About
The house and us
In 2024 we finished the renovation and the ruins in the South of Italy have become our home. We left 2 extra rooms for artists to create
The little boat of my intellect now sets sail
to course through gentler waters
leaving behind her a sea so cruel.
And I will speak of that second region
where the human spirit is purged
and becomes fit to climb to Heaven.
But, since I am yours, O sacred Muses,
here let dead Poetry rise again.
– Dante, The Divine Comedy “Part II: Purgatorio”.
We are only beginning this journey, and so will be learning together with you what it means to run an art residency.
Our dream is that this place will become a home away from home for a community of international artists, and a space for exploration and creation.
