Advisory Council
The Civitella Ranieri Board formed the Advisory Council in January, 2011 to get varied and trusted perspectives on how we are doing and our role within the artistic community. It is overseen by a Board member and the staff. It is a distinguished group of the artistic community, including some past Fellows and Directors Guests.

“My Civitella residency could not have come at a better time. I had just completed a cycle of work so stressful, I was near collapse. Getting far away was just what I needed. Getting away to Italia was a dream. The new friends I made, the places we went to, the things we saw, have enriched our lives in ways we will savor for a long, long time. Everyone made us feel so special.”
