Spring 2025 Residency in Medieval Town

33OC is an artist-run non-profit association, managing a theater and a program of international artist residencies located in Toffia — a small medieval village perched on a rock 60Km NE of Rome.

Our small residency program offers professional artists the time and space to work in the pastoral landscape of the Sabina region and to explore the lesser-known rural culture of Italy.

The residency is located in a deconsecrated 13th-century church – currently an active theater and in its adjacent building. Artists are offered access to the theater, multipurpose workspaces, and shared living quarters.

Duration of residency

Spring session, 1 month-long residencies in April, May and June.

Call for Artists: Responding to Edward Mitchell Bannister

Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901) was a prominent Black artist who was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and lived in Providence in the last decades of his life. He was the first artist of color to win a national art award when he received First Prize at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia, and he went on to help build Providence into a New England cultural center, becoming a driving force in establishing the Providence Art Club in 1880.

The Bannister Community Art Project and Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College are seeking professional artists to participate in and create new artwork for an exhibition that responds to Edward Bannister’s life and artwork. We welcome broad interpretations of the theme and a variety of artistic media.
