KUNSTEN AT BLIVE

Fem dage med kunst, morgenyoga, lokalt produceret mad, sprød vin, måneskinssvømning og at følge din indre stemme. Vi inviterer dig til at koble helt fra og slappe af. Føl dig fri til at lege.

HOW RESERVATIONS WORK

Once you join the list of interest and pay a deposit of $200 to hold your space in the queue, the retreat curator will email you to pair you with a studio for the week(s) you are wanting to book. The reservations are made on a first-come-first-served basis. If we are not able to accommodate you for the dates you are interested in, your deposit will be refunded.

Due to the cross-operational functions of the foundation, not all of the studios are available all weeks. We host many events during the summer that we book the Studio Stays around in order for you to have the most pleasurable experience.

To begin the registration process, complete the steps below.

SPECIFICS ABOUT STAY DATES

The Studio Stays follow the same schedule as the Threshold Art retreats, happening weekly for 12 weeks from June 15 - September 4.

 

During your reserved week(s), you have the option to audit a portion of the retreat course (up to two days). If this interests you, we encourage you to review the retreat calendar and consider aligning your stay with a session that resonates with you.

ART RETREAT CALENDAR

Each Studio Stay reservation is based on a five nights stay, typically starting Monday morning and concluding Saturday morning. Guests who book consecutive weeks are also able to enjoy the intervening weekend, creating a seamless, extended stay.

There are exceptions for studios that are occasionally involved with other foundation event programming that may cause the reservation to be available for less than 5 nights. In that case, the rate will be prorated.

GENERAL DETAILS AND OFFERINGS

Pricing for studio stays are significantly below retreat rates, reflecting the self-directed nature of the experience. The rates include accommodations and a private studio.

Meals are not included in the base price. However, you will have the option to join communal meals, which can be added at the time of booking. There is a full kitchen where you are welcome to cook your own meals. You are also welcome to participate in daily yoga and sound bowl meditations.

Rates are structured to encourage longer stays, with the weekly cost decreasing the longer you remain. Your full length of stay must be reserved at the time of registration.

Each participant is accommodated in Villa Marguerite, staying alongside retreat participants and sharing in the broader rhythm of the foundation. Your booking includes the reservation of a shared room, and you will have the opportunity to upgrade your room to a sea view and/or a private room.

All studio stay guests are provided with a private studio, located either within the Villa or the Château. Studios vary in size and character, and while specific requests cannot be guaranteed, we will be in touch prior to your arrival to thoughtfully match you with a space that supports your work.

Participants are responsible for bringing their own materials and any specialized tools. We’re happy to provide a list of local art suppliers in the area. Please note that while we support a wide range of practices, we do not currently offer dedicated facilities for metalworking or woodworking. We do not have a ceramics studio - although we are currently raising funds to build one!

PRICING

The price structure for the bookings is as follows:

1 week:    $1,100 for the week

2 weeks:  $950 per week

3+ weeks: $ 750 per week

Upgrades for a sea-view room and/or a private bedroom will be an additional $250 per week. The sea view and the private room options are both considered separate upgrades. Click the link to see images of the bedrooms in the Villa Marguerite

 2 | STUDIO STAY DEPOSIT OF INTEREST AND RESERVATION

Thank you for your interest in a Studio Stay!


The Château de La Napoule has long been a place where boundaries dissolve and lives are reimagined. From Henry Clews’ artistic vision and Marie Clews’ devoted preservation, to the many artists who have discovered new directions within its walls, transformation is part of its very fabric.


Today, that spirit of renewal is no longer reserved for a select few—it is open to anyone curious enough to seek it.


We are especially delighted to offer these stays, marking the first time since our founding that we have been able to open our doors so widely.


To welcome guests into this space, rich with artistic legacy, and to invite them to experience its transformative energy firsthand is a true privilege.


We are ready to begin matching artists with the studios and begin reserving dates for your stay!

Below is a list of the weeks during which the retreats take place.
