A.I.R Vallauris - Educational Research Project


Located in the heart of the old town Vallauris, A.I.R. Vallauris (Artists in Residence), a non-profit association, welcomes artists from around the world to its lodgings and studios to meet with local artists and to research and create new works in a unique setting, A.I.R. Vallauris has welcomed over 400 international artists since its creation in 2001.


The residency is a 5-story historical “maison de village” and overlooks a charming square in the old town of Vallauris, a ceramic capital on the French Riviera, where Picasso once lived and created his masterpieces. It is located above our art gallery, called Aqui Siam Ben, where works from previous artists in residence are displayed. The house is just 5km away from Cannes, 200 meters from the local market, the Picasso museum, Chateau museum and a 10 minute drive to the Mediterranean sea.

So you think I'm to old to.... : A LOOK AT HOW OLDER ARTISTS EXCEL AS THE YEARS PROGRESS

Feb 1 - May 3, 2025

Hudson Valley MOCA

Peekskill, NY


There is a story, not sufficiently touted, of artists finding their best creative energy as they enter their senior years. Arguably, Louise Bourgeois created her best works, her spiders and cells, well into her 80’s, after leaving behind the totemic works that so mimicked her male counterparts.  Is it the freedom offered by a lifetime of observation and integration of the interior psyche with outer data? Is it the freedom that age offers to be introspective, to not bow to external critique and judgement.


Opening reception Saturday, February 1, 3-5pm
