Palazzo Rinaldi Artists' Residence

Independent, family-run and 100% Italian owned - the Palazzo being the family home for generations - we provide our International resident artists with a dedicated and welcoming space to focus and create in a historical site and within a unique natural setting. In addition, through the calendar of events ARTtractions/ ARTtrazioni, Palazzo Rinaldi actively promotes interaction and exchange between its resident artists and the Lucanian community by organising end-of-residency exhibitions, performances, workshops, activities and much more. Management and running costs are currently being covered by the residency fees paid by the residents- who are often sponsored by arts councils & institutions in their home countries. Our main goal is therefore to develop strong ties with international organisations in the arts field to establish fellowsips and bursaries which would make the residencies free of charge for the artists. The residency is open in summer only (June-Sept), and 3 family staff work there full time. The ARTtractions/ ARTtrazioni festival, curated by Residency Director Susanna Caprara, is supported by the town of Noepoli (Comune di Noepoli) and by the local non-profit tourism association Pro Loco Antica Noja. All Festival events are free of charge.
