ARTISTS’ RESIDENCY
Applications for 2025 Are Now Open!
Pottery Farm Gallery is a creative retreat offering short residencies for writers, filmmakers, visual artists, designers, photographers, musicians, and other creators. It’s a quiet and distraction-free space where you can focus on your projects and explore new ideas at your own pace.
WHERE ARE WE?
We’re located in the heart of the Gers region, on the northeastern edge of Gascony, just 40 minutes from the lively city of Toulouse. Set on a hill surrounded by nature with stunning views of the Pyrenees, our space is tucked away from main roads, providing the perfect environment for inspiration and focus.
DURATION OF RESIDENCY?
Residencies last 2 weeks (14 days, 13 nights)
2. Shared and Private Workspaces: Beyond these private rooms, we offer common and individual spaces to further inspire your projects.
The Studio Gallery: A bright, shared workspace where you can enjoy a designated area to work and stay inspired alongside others.
The Pigeon Coop: For those who prefer complete privacy, this secluded creative space is perfect for working alone.
Outdoor Spaces: Our expansive farm includes hectares of grassy fields, perfect for working undisturbed under the trees, with nothing and no one to interrupt your flow.
IS FOOD INCLUDED IN THE STAY?
No, accommodation is provided on a self-catering basis and residents are given cupboard, fridge and freezer space, plus shared use of a fully fitted kitchen. Also, we have a log fire that heats the whole house, complemented by a heat pump. Yes, we want to be sustainable, and we hope you are also concerned about taking care of the planet! :)
DO YOU PROVIDE A CALM ENVIRONMENT FOR CREATING?
Absolutely! Our place is tucked away in the countryside, far from the main roads. The only sounds you’ll hear are birds singing and the wind rustling through the trees. It’s truly a peaceful, natural retreat where you can focus on yourself, your projects, your rest, and your inspiration.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A RESIDENCY?
Applications are open to creative professionals from all disciplines, including but not limited to artists, designers, writers, musicians, filmmakers, dancers, and makers. We define a creative practitioner as someone actively pursuing their craft professionally, whether on a full-time or part-time basis.
To ensure a comfortable and private experience for everyone, we welcome up to four residents at a time. Selection is based on several key factors: your experience, the quality of your work, the clarity of your project proposal, your character, and your ability to connect with others who may be in residence simultaneously.
*Having a well-defined project to develop during your stay is essential to us.
HOW MUCH AND WHEN WILL I NEED TO PAY THE FEE?
To secure your place, a 50% deposit is required upon acceptance of your application. The remaining balance is due at least two months before your residency begins. If selected, we’ll send you all the information about payment methods and our cancellation policy. Cost: 1300€ per person for a 2-week stay.
