The Art Residency program stems from a growing interest in sculpture as an artistic form of expression, realized through techniques that craftsmen have used for centuries. Contemporary artists have increasingly embraced these techniques and are expressing themselves in their own artistic language, while challenging boundaries and expanding our understanding of classical sculpture.

Therefore, The Art Residency x Gl. Holtegaard attracts and supports a generation of Danish and international contemporary artists, who are currently eager to work in our workshops in Pietrasanta.

We can see a clear trend towards the revival of traditional crafts and their re-entry into the art scene. It is our hope that The Art Residency can help artists move from idea to production and thus serve as a starting point for new works. At the same time, the program creates the necessary framework to unite artistic creativity with craft knowledge and skill.

A sculpture begins as an idea! Without a workshop, it is difficult to turn the idea into reality.
