CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES
Civitella provides a rare and vital opportunity for committed artists from around the globe – six weeks of uninterrupted time and space, in community with others, in an environment of multidisciplinary discovery, creative reflection, nourishing food, and unparalleled beauty.
Each year Civitella hosts fully funded residencies for around fifty writers, composers, and visual artists. We rely on the generosity and commitment of our community of donors to sustain our work. Please join the many Civitellians who give monthly or annually to make this opportunity possible for the future Fellows of Civitella.
Thank you for your support!

“Civitella is a space where the best parts of Humanity are given a chance to flourish. There should be a program where world politicians and leaders can go and live there and be with us, and see how much can change for the better, in heart and mind, when a meal is shared and lives are opened in words, in shoulders rubbing against one another, nourishing and being nourished in return. Grazie.”
