Residency Details

This residency is open to emerging and mid-career artists working in all disciplines across Greater Los Angeles. For four months the artist-in-residence will be given a studio in the Quinn Emanuel Los Angeles office to support their existing practice or a new project as appropriate.

At the end of the residency an exhibition will be held to display the works of the artist and at least one work will be incorporated into the permanent collection. A supporting stipend will be provided, as well as materials allowance. Over the course of a year there will be 2 residency cycles, each with a four month residency and a subsequent exhibition in a location deemed appropriate for the work decided on between the artist and curator.

Residency Period

Take time to slow down. Unplug. Breathe deeply. Let yourself be renewed by the sea wind, the scent of wild herbs, and the timeless beauty of the Gulf of Trieste. This is your invitation to rediscover inspiration—in the rhythms of nature, in the whispers of history, and  the vibrant cultural life of a city shaped by poetry, myths, and the tides of empires.

Wander along the Rilke Trail, where cliffs meet the sea and stories ride the breeze. Let the rich literary heritage of Trieste guide you—from the introspective prose of Italo Svevo and the evocative verses of Umberto Saba to the transformative presence of James Joyce. In this city, where languages and worlds once converged, creativity flows naturally—deep, layered, and unbound.
