Creative Residency in a Medieval Watermill in Southwest of France
About This Opportunity
Le Moulin de la Barde is an independent, artist-run residency nestled in a restored 11th-century watermill in the heart of the Périgord Noir, France. Our Fall 2025 program invites artists from all disciplines to immerse themselves in a landscape of deep history, natural beauty, and creative calm. The residency is self-directed and non-prescriptive, offering time and space for research, experimentation, or production. Artists are encouraged to slow down, engage with the unique rhythm of the place, and explore personal or site-responsive work. While the program is primarily focused on individual practice, we welcome exchanges between residents and offer optional opportunities for artist talks or open studio events.
