Dora Maar
Ménerbes, France
The residency is perfect for the artist who has a sense of the work they want to make and needs the time and peace to make it. It was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had. The beauty of the landscape and terroir, the loveliness of the facilitators, everything was perfect.

It is a wonderful residency in a very small French village. It is lovely and quiet, and the house is full of history. A very quiet place for a very focused residency. I loved my time there. Hope to go back.
This residency is not accessible. Location is spectacular and space is perfect for solitary practice if you are able-bodied. Administration is very hands-off and undemanding. The region is quite xenophobic; the French property manager has made racist remarks about immigrants.
Maison Dora Maar is a very welcoming space and covers both your travel costs and pays a per diem. There are only three people there at a time, and you can choose to interact or not. The public reading you are expected to give is attentively welcomed by the local audience. The view is spectacular and the house itself is amazing. Great for any self-directed work.
