Associazione di Promozione sociale Masseria Cultura

opis organizacji

Masseria Cultura is a non-profit association based in the natural reserve of the countryside of NOCI (Apulia). MC was founded in 2019 by a duo of artists - Jacques & Fabrizia - who believes in the strong values of Nature and Culture.
Currently, the association is managed by Jacques Leo & Fabrizia Franco, always present in the implementation and supervision of educational and artistic activities and always looking for new ideas and proposals.
Fabrizia & Jacques are extremely sensitive to environmental, sustainable, and ecological issues, also promoting a vegetarian diet at KM0 with the products that they grow in the organic vegetable garden of the Masseria.
The association offers itself to the public as a new multifunctional cultural center in Southern Italy, within which its members can take advantage of artistic and educational workshops for all ages.
Masseria Cultura launches, every six months, an Open Call for the Artistic Residences thanks to which, the artists from all over the world, will have the opportunity to live a unique experience in contact with nature, bringing and generating an immense plus value for the territory.
The mission is, in fact, to bring contemporary art and cultural activity outside the cities, restoring the historical, architectural, and landscape of the Masseria.
The Masseria Cultura team works with the constant support of Workaway volunteers from all over the world, who collaborate for restorations and ordinary maintenance work.
The members of the Masseria work to create new places of exchange and artistic production that will allow artists to meet and work in inclusive and choral contexts, inspired by history, people, and the surrounding nature.
