Art Monastery Project

<p style="text-align: left;">The Art Monastery Project cultivates personal awakening and cultural transformation through art, contemplation, and community. The Artmonks are an international community of artists dedicated to applying the disciplined, contemplative, sustainable monastic way of living to the creative process.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: left;">The brainchild of American artists Betsy McCall and Christopher F&uuml;lling, the Project intends to transform a historic Italian monastery into an international arts production center. Committed to investigating the idea of social sculpture, the Art Monastery Project develops a wide variety of performance-based and visual art in a way that focuses on the process of creation as much as the final products.</p> <p>Particularly concerned with connecting historic tradition and contemporary life, the Art Monastery focuses on site-specific installations and performances as well as collaboration with the local community. Work developed at the Art Monastery premieres locally before touring internationally.</p> <p>In 2010, the Art Monastery Project found an ideal location in the monastery San Antonio in the medieval hill town of Labro, 70 minutes north east of Rome. The building dates back to the 17th century when it was a Franciscan monastery and now hosts the artists of the Art Monastery Project, top notch hotel Colle di Costa, and the much celebrated Ristorante Ulisse.</p> <p>It is a radical contemporary experiment in social sculpture inspired by tradition: to apply the disciplined, contemplative, and sustainable monastic way of living to the creative process.
