Art Center Padula is an arts organization, founded as a means to contribute to the revitalization of the southern Italian village of Padula. The core elements of our project, including our Artist Residency Program, are activities that work together to develop new internal and external social networks in Padula and to re-energize existing ones. We believe that these new or rejuvenated networks will aid in the re-discovery of local creative practices and resources, and encourage the renewal of the historic center. A key priority of this project is to help shift the way people (locally, regionally, and internationally) think about where, how, and why creative and cultural production happens.
