Creatives far and wide in pursuit of enlightenment are journeying to NG Art Creative, a 17th century Provençal olive mill, Moulin de Gréoux, Maussane, offering a dedicated residency program and gallery, nestled in the foothills of the glorious Alpilles mountains. Situated alongside les Vallées des Baux, and only a stone’s throw from the historic village, Les Baux de Provence, boasting a magnificent ancient castle ruin, the region offers sweeping views over the rocky outcrop of ragged peaks,
cliffs, valleys, foothills and plains. Olive groves are bountiful, and the Moulin de Gréoux retains all its charm from a bygone era, and original features that characterize the history of the mill with its imposing vaulted ceilings, original olive press, wooden beam, frails and troths.
A home away from home, NG Art Creative is a not for profit international multi-disciplinary association offering a place of respite, nourishment and enlightenment for artists, writers, poets, musicians, performers, filmmakers, photographers, academic scholars, and other creatives who seek to enrich their process. A dedicated gallery within the Moulin de Gréoux, provides creatives the opportunity to showcase their work in regular seasonal, solo and group exhibitions. Feasts for the senses dinners, musical soirées, dance, performance and the like welcome the local and international community to partake in the residency’s unique cultural offerings. We invite creatives to embark on imaginative endeavours, and immerse themselves in this environment of reflection and creative freedom, in the studio and en plein air. NG Art Creative also prides itself on offering a limited number of awards, prizes and sponsorship. We value the relevance of art and culture, inspiring new perspectives and engagement within a local and global context.
