Studio Faire In Nérac, France, Now Taking Residency Applications

If you need time away to work, this may be for you. In 2017, Colin Usher and Julia Douglas, from Scotland, bought a lovely mansion house in Nérac, France. The idea was to create a contemporary arts center providing funded and self-funded residencies, creative courses and cultural events for all types of creatives.

Their website contains all the details, including links to help people find money for their stays. It may help you to know that Colin is a visual artist, filmmaker, photographer, Macintosh fan, and drummer. Julia is mixed media visual artist and website designer. Dougie Douglas Usher is a 9 year old Labrador. Often found sunbathing in the garden, and Nushka is a 3 year old Blue Point Siamese who has recently decided to live there.
