A Letter from the DIRECTOR

August 5th, 2025

Dear Civitellians, 

What an extraordinary Fellowship season we’ve had this year! We are full of gratitude to the artists who awaken us daily to the magic of this place. At the Castle they found solitude, stimulation, scorpions and swallows, new friendships, the fullest moons, and all the spirits of Civitella. 

Your gifts have fueled the great well of support and care that this year’s Fellows have experienced while in residence. Thank you for your belief in the importance of our work. As we look towards the future and prepare for our 31st residency season next year, please consider making a donation to support the Fellows of 2026 and beyond. Discover (some new!) ways to give back here.

Un caro saluto from all of us at Civitella,

Heather Ewing
Executive Director
