Where You'll Stay

The ART in Orvieto program occupies a remarkable space in Orvieto. Our accommodation for all program participants and our classroom and studio spaces for the Graduate Seminar and Artists' Studio Residency will be located in the Monastery of the Servants of Mary (The Servite Order) leased by Gordon College. 

The monastery is designed around a large cloister and the whole complex dates to the 1200s. The Servite Church, Santa Maria dei Servi, is a large architectural gem refashioned in the 1800s that forms the west side of the cloister. The Studio is along the north side of the cloister, divided into two adjoining spaces under a beautiful vaulted ceiling from the 1200s with plenty of room for sustained work on a variety of artistic projects.
