Residenza Lago Scuro is a self-directed interdisciplinary residency offering creatives the chance to explore their practice, exchange ideas, and make work while living on, and learning about, a beautiful regenerative farm in Northern Italy. The program emphasizes the exchange between practitioners of the cultural and agricultural arts, and the value that is created when different minds and like-hearts come together and collaborate in a space dedicated to nature, nourishment, and creativity.
The residency is currently accepting applications for its 2025 cohort, which will take place from October 19–31 in Cremona, Italy.
Cascina Lago Scuro is a home, farm, dairy, vegetable garden, laboratory, and restaurant. The property dates back to the 18th century, and is comprised of many distinct environments: the church, the farmer's house, the manor house, a Neo-Gothic courtyard, the stables for horses and cows, and the dairy. A garden rich in oaks, magnolias, hazels and other tree species surrounds the rear of the farmhouse; its infamous bell-tower preserving the atmosphere of an ancestral manor.
The application is open from May 1 to June 1, 2025, and is available on our website at residenzalagoscuro.com/apply. There is a submission fee of $25 which will be used to create a scholarship fund for accepted residents. We welcome applicants from all disciplines and backgrounds who resonate with our mission of creative exchange, sustainability, and nourishment. Applications will be reviewed throughout June, and the cohort will be announced in early July.
