The Italian word for clay, CRETA, seemed perfect to express our commitment to
creating an international reference point for ceramics and the arts in
the eternal city of Rome. Moreover, taken as an acronym, it spells out our
main activities: Ceramics, Residencies, Exhibitions, Teaching & the Arts.
c.r.e.t.a. rome offers artist residencies for ceramicists and visual
artists for periods of 6 weeks or 3 months. Artists have the
opportunity to focus on their art, whether it be creating a new body of
work, expanding a well-established oeuvre or allowing themselves to
draw inspiration from their surroundings and the centuries of culture
that define the eternal city of Rome. The residency includes a
semi-private equipped studio, private or shared apartments in the
historical center of Rome, and technical assistance in procuring
materials for their work, firings, etc. In addition, they will have
access to the wealth of galleries and exhibitions in Rome and beyond.
Each resident will have an opportunity to exhibit the work produced
during the residency period in a final show. A selection committee
composed of artists, art critics and historians carefully evaluates
applicants based on their artistic experience, merit and project
proposal.
