Artist Residency • Sardinia island, Italy

We invite artists to join us in the 7th edition of our residency programme on the island of #Sardinia, Italy.

📅 Deadline for submissions: September 7th, 2026

Nocefresca welcomes an international community of artists and creative practitioners — visual artists, writers, designers, researchers, and creative nomads — who come together for a shared experience of research, creation, and transformation.

👥 Up to 7 residents per month, alongside short-term visitors, supported by a guest curator who accompanies and engages with artists throughout their creative process.

📍 The residency is located in the historic centre of Milis, a rural village surrounded by citrus orchards, a 19 km drive from the beaches of Sardinia’s west coast.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Residents engage with a welcoming and active local community, building connections between contemporary artistic practices and rural life.

📆 Residencies last from 1 to 3 months. In 2026, the programme will run from:
• March 12th – June 15th
• September 14th – December 17th

Over the years, Nocefresca has grown into an international community rooted in shared values: the belief in art as a social practice; a sustained attention to islands, margins, and rural peripheries; and a commitment to contemporary languages and emerging narratives.

Alongside this collective dimension, the residency offers each artist the time, space, and focus to develop their own research and practice in depth — within a quiet rural environment, close to nature and the rhythms of village life.
