We are holding a free retreat for Ukrainian refugees at the Art Centre in Casole d'Elsa to be able to take a holiday and relax and enjoy the opportunity for creativity and enjoying the beauty and tranquillity of the village and the surrounding countryside. This is being hosting in connection with Nadya Molugova, a Russian artist who has set up a refugee centre in her Classical Art Academy in Florence. Nadya will provide a plein air programme for the adults while a group of volunteers will provide activities for the children including sports, cooking, art and music. We would greatly value any contributions to help with the cost of hosting and providing meals, helping with any travel costs etc for the retreat.
Stiamo organizzando un ritiro gratuito per i rifugiati ucraini presso il Centro d'Arte di Casole d'Elsa per poter prendersi una vacanza e rilassarsi e godere dell'opportunità di creatività e godersi la bellezza e la tranquillità del villaggio e della campagna circostante. Questo è ospitato in connessione con Nadya Molugova, un'artista russa che ha creato un centro per rifugiati nella sua Accademia d'Arte Classica a Firenze. Nadya fornirà un programma all'aria aperta per gli adulti mentre un gruppo di volontari offrirà attività per i bambini tra cui sport, cucina, arte e musica. Apprezzeremmo molto qualsiasi contributo per aiutare con i costi di hosting e fornitura dei pasti, aiuto con eventuali spese di viaggio ecc. per il ritiro.
Artists are welcome to stay at the Centre during the off season from the end of October to mid April. This is a much quieter time of year and ideal for someone wanting to work on their own projects for an extended stay.
A month long stay: €1,300
A fortnight: €700
A week: €450
Rent can be reduced by up to €15 per day in exchange for an hour's work such as upkeep of the property. Please get in touch to discuss options.
