Ahead of its fifth anniversary, the residency program has welcomed more than 370 artists and intellectuals from 15 disciplines in 60 cities and regions of the United States.

In 2027, Villa Albertine will welcome a new cohort of artists and thinkers who will develop projects that can only take shape with a stay in the United States. In total, around fifty residencies in all disciplines will be supported across the U.S. Lasting between one and three months, most residencies will be based in a single city, while a few will take place in several locations.
