Postponed to summer 2025. Exact dates TBA.
A THREE-WEEK SEMINAR AND STUDIO RESIDENCY FOR PRACTICING ARTISTS, TEACHERS, AND GRADUATE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART, RELIGION, AND THEOLOGY IN ORVIETO, ITALY.
ACCOMMODATION & MEALS
Participants in ART in Orvieto will be hosted at the Convento Dei Servi, which is home to the Studio for Art, Faith, and History of Gordon College in Wenham, MA. This newly renovated, 13th century convent is positioned in the historic hilltop Orvieto city center, just steps away from the ruins of an Etruscan temple and spectacular views of the valley below heading in one direction to Florence and the other towards Rome. The convent will host all of our program activities and daily routines during our time together as a group: from classrooms, dormitories, and artists' studio, to communal dining facilities and shared public spaces.
Living Spaces
➤ There will be a selection of single or double occupancy rooms available all with single beds, a desk and chair, and a private en suite bathroom with towels and bedding provided.
➤ You will be able to indicate your room preference on your application form. We will do our best to accommodate people's preferences, but accommodation will ultimately depend on room availability at the monastery at the time of booking.
➤ During the summer months, there is air conditioning available in some of the convent's public spaces, and dormitory rooms are all provided with fans.
➤ Wifi is available in guest rooms and in the public spaces of this facility.
Meals
➤ A continental breakfast, larger communal midday meal, and evening dinner is provided on site every weekday for the duration of the program and is included in the program cost.
➤ Other meal arrangements will be made for the excursions on Fridays and are also included in the program cost.
➤ Participants will be free to make their own arrangements for their meals during the weekend, including taking advantage of the wonderful range of restaurants in Orvieto.
