With its spacious halls and restored areas, the Santa Croce site is the ideal setting for workshops, talks, and the final exhibition, which will open on 26 September 2026 and present the works produced during the residency. Artists and the curator will be encouraged to focus their research on the characteristic aspects of the region and to establish connections with communities across the province of Alessandria, in order to gain insights into its social, economic, and geographical landscape.
The residency is open to emerging artists and researchers in visual and performing arts, video and digital art, art criticism, and curatorial practices. To foster a broad cultural exchange, the program aims to host both Italian and international participants within the same environment, encouraging new dialogues.
Our three-month residency program offers dedicated workspace within a 17th-century convent, accommodation fully covered by the program, a production fee, a monthly stipend, and the use of a car for local transportation. The residency also includes a final exhibition and the publication of a catalogue produced in collaboration with Allemandi Publishing.
