"The Mas des Graviers, facing the mythical Montagne Sainte Victoire,
combines the beautiful surroundings of a secluded country estate with
an atmosphere encouraging artistic reflection, debate and exchange of
ideas. It was a very pleasant and productive experience, the
perfect starting point for something new."

Medium: Moving Images | Dates of residency: April 20th to April 30th 2009
"I spent a very peaceful and productive 10 days at the Mas this April.
Away from the hustle and bustle of London I had space and time to
focus my thoughts, experiment with production techniques and develop
ideas for a new piece of work."
Michaela Nettel, May 2009
Medium: Paintings | Dates of residency: April 20th to May 3rd 2009
"I arrived at the Mas with an open mind as I didn't want any
preconceived ideas to influence any work done there. I am glad that I
did this because the beauty of the Mas and the surrounding mountains
provided a magnificent breath of fresh air and was a great inspiration
for my work.
From a painters perspective I defy any artist to go to the Mas and not
be inspired by the beautiful surroundings."
Kim Baker, May 2009
