Villa Flora Artist in Residency Program
Villa Flora Artist in Residency Program (in Slovenian: Likovna kolonija Villa Flora) is a program organised by Villa Flora in Slovenia.
History and program
Villa Flora Artist in Residency Program was founded by Slovenian painter Tjaša Iris in 2007. It hosted its first session in August – September 2008 and its second session in August – September 2009.[citation needed]
Villa Flora Artist in Residence Program serves to promote creative exploration and exchange among people of diverse nationalities and backgrounds. It is historically the first Artist in Residence Program in Slovenia and the first in the country to which artists from all over the world can apply.
The selection is made by the founder, owner, and painter Tjaša Iris as well as a rotating group of diverse artists, academics, critics, and others who nominate potential candidates.
The residencies at Villa Flora welcome visual artists, writers, poets, theatre groups, dancers, musicians, critics, curators, designers, architects, and others.
Villa Flora is located in Branik (Italian: Rifembergo, German: Reifenberg) a village in western Slovenia in the municipality of Nova Gorica, near the Italian border. It is located half an hour from Trieste, an hour from Ljubljana, and an hour and a half from Venice.
