Program Description:
In the heart of the historic center of the town of Piran is a private and contemporary residence/retreat for artists. It was designed in 2009 by a contemporary architectural biro and owned by an art institute which has over the years used the villa for artistic, musical productions as well as poetry, and performance.
We offer most of the spaces of the house for intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange with professionals (both foreign and Slovenian). These activities aim mainly to the creation of new projects, ideas, and artworks in a stimulating environment, in contact with other artists.
The residence offers space for the artistic production of various size and media.
This is an exclusive opportunity to develop new ideas in a beautiful and quiet yet lively location by the sea.
