Art is a focus of the Living In Peace Project and an essential component of the venture. We offer an annual artist-in-residency programme whereby artists are invited to come and stay for a few months to live and work and get involved in the Living In Peace Project.
Artistic people are drawn to the Living In Peace Project and we have hosted numerous international artists as official artists-in-residence and several other people have arrived and spent time with us while working on their artworks as “unofficial” resident artists.
