La Becque
La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland
La Becque, nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva in La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland, offers a unique residency program for Swiss and international artists across a wide range of disciplines. The program, focusing on the intricate relationship between nature, the environment, and technology, encourages artists to explore these contemporary concerns through their artistic practices. La Becque provides three- or six-month residencies, emphasizing research, reflection, and the developmental phases of artistic work rather than the final production. This approach supports long-term artistic growth and fosters collaborations and interactions among residents and the broader creative community. Public events, such as discussions and open studios, complement the residency experience, offering visibility and engagement opportunities without being the sole outcome. Financial support includes accommodation, a monthly stipend, and travel costs, with additional support for childcare. La Becque's mission is to facilitate moments of reflection and transition in artists' careers, contributing to their development in an inspiring setting.
