TaC offers two residencies per year – both in early summer. The residency typically lasts one month, at the end of which the artists are asked to leave one work behind as a permanent gift to TaC's collection, which will be displayed in the house. Every year two artists will be selected, one for each term. The idea is that the artists who are invited to participate will not only respond to the lush natural setting of TaC and the rich art historical significance of the broader area, but will also get inspired by their respective artistic practices. The residency is strictly by invitation, however, we encourage all artists to get in touch and tell us about their interest.
"A few years ago, Formenti revived a timeless form of patronage: hosting two emerging artists in summertime, showing them the area, and taking them to the renowned Palio horse race in Siena. They are not required to do anything specific besides leaving a trace of their presence in the house; it is a residency and a holiday, and has continued through email and word of mouth."
