A home away from home, NG Art Creative Residency is an international multi-disciplinary creative residency that offers a place of respite, nourishment and enlightenment for creatives who seek to enrich their artistic process away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life. Based a few kilometres from the historical village of Eygalières in Provence, Southern France, in a charming 15th century homestead, Mas des Pelerins.
NG Art Creative Residency is directed and run by long-standing gallerist, curator, entrepreneur and director Nicky Ginsberg. Born in London, schooled at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, and University of Sydney to undertake a BA in Art History.
Whether utilizing the large studio space at Mas des Pelerins or creating en plein air in Provence, ignite your imagination amongst the olive groves, reclining in a hammock, beneath the fig tree or a secret location of your own. It’s hard not to be inspired in the epicentre of art, culture and creative spirit. Immortalised by the greats, the memories of Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Frédéric Mistral, Alphonse Daudet, Joseph Roumanille and Marie Mauron live on within the sun-kissed meadows, sweeping hills, red poppy fields and jasmine-scented cobbled streets.
Creatives will have the opportunity to feast from dawn to dusk. Together, local chefs and Madame Ginsberg source ingredients for the local markets, exhibit their culinary skillset, and impart their knowledge of food and authentic French cuisine. Here you can taste the fruits of their labor, one ingredient at a time, and lend a helping hand so that you too can create creative and culinary masterpieces.
At the end of your stay you have the opportunity to present your body of work, script, performance, composition, or piece of writing, over a celebratory feast for all of the senses.
Residency Creatives can engage with the local artist community at evening soirées, feasts for the senses, workshops, and over Côte de Provence Rosès at local vineyards.
The NG Art Creative Residency is open from September to May each year. There are three different packages available and the preferred length of stay is 3, 4 or 6 weeks.
