A Letter from the DIRECTOR
June 10, 2025
Dear Civitellians,
Hello from the Castle! Today, the newly arrived Fellows of Group 2 are settling into their apartments and beginning to discover the wonders of Civitella and their cohort. We eagerly await the brief presentations on Thursday evening and the chance to get to know them better.Â
The inspiring Fellows of Group 1 are back out in the world. Read on below for a window into their time at the Castle.
We are so grateful to the many of you who wrote and donated in response to the news of the withdrawal of our grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Thank you for standing with us, with artists, and with the wider nonprofit community in the face of continued assaults on knowledge and freedom of thought.
Un caro saluto from all of us at Civitella,
Heather Ewing
Executive Director
