Nocefresca was exactly what I needed to refocus on my practice after several hectic years. A small rural village with great community support. I understood it did not have the technical workshops that I usually require, but it did not matter…. The quiet time was a relief. The fees included great shared accommodation and a small studio. The highlight was the local people, fellow artists, facilitators and feeling part of this community; this will stay with me forever. I would recommend a hire car if you want to get around Sardinia, the village is rural and bus services slow and infrequent.
The residency was online during the pandemic period. The hosts were super nice to reply quickly. The communication and all the arrangements were well organized and warm.
The residency is not very professional oriented and the leadership is lacking. I did not receive any competent support and communication was vague, unclear and lacked direction. This was the one residency I have been to and would not recommend for anyone who takes themselves seriously as an artist to spend money on it. Too much headache with the woman that supposedly was the main contact and interviewed me then disappeared during the entire month. I have seen her twice.
