Founded in 1995, Civitella Ranieri Foundation, Inc. is a private non-profit arts organization that operates an international residency program for writers, composers, and visual artists. The private company is based in New York, NY. The foundation offers fully funded six-week residencies from May to October, hosting a diverse community of professionals selected through an international nomination and jury process. Residents work independently and communally in a historic castle and adapted studios, with an emphasis on inclusion, diversity, and sustainability. The foundation supports local farmers and uses organic produce from its gardens to provide regional cuisine, fostering connections to the area's natural and cultural heritage. It hosts cultural events and presentations featuring its residents, accessible in person or via livestream, and maintains outreach through news, social media, and support opportunities.
