Master the Light. Share the Process.
Before they teach, they create.
By spending uninterrupted time attuned to the local landscape and culture, they arrive at the workshop deeply energized and inspired.
FALL IN LOVE
WITH SICILY
Our Teaching Artist in Residence program gives instructors a rare gift: dedicated room to breathe, paint, and fall in love with western Sicily
A WHOLE WEEK
TO SET THE TONE
A full week before their students arrive, our resident artists move into the studio to soak up the atmosphere, chase the golden Mediterranean light, and work completely without distraction.
A VERY SICILIAN
KICK OFF SHOW
On night one, participants are invited to a private view of the instructor’s residency output. It’s a front-row seat to how a master transforms raw Sicilian inspiration into art, setting the tone for the week ahead.
