Dora Maar

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 & undemanding. The region is quite xenophobic; the French property manager has made racist remarks about immigrants.

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.

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.
