2024-2025 Artist in Residence Program

We are back! After the long years of COVID and having to rebuild our depleted finances, we restarted the Artist in Residence program this year.
We organized the program in collaboration with the Italian Consulate in Detroit. Their help was invaluable, and the results were fantastic. The program came back to life with a bang. It was a collaborative project between two artists from different cultures: Nico Lopez Bruchi from Volterra, and Hubert Massey from Detroit. Both of them specialize in making murals, so they did a mural together, in the Eastern market, that illustrates the industrial collaboration between Italy and the US. The image above shows the event of unveiling their work.

Hubert Massey will travel to Volterra next year to work with Nico on his home turf. He will have an opportunity to see the many aspects of Italian art, from antiquity to modern times.

Here are some beautiful photos taken during Nico’s stay in Detroit, and of the mural project, with Hubert Massey, by Alessia Caputo.
