The Foundation’s campus, which overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, includes thirteen furnished apartments, a reference library, a music/conference room, an artist’s studio with darkroom, a composer’s studio, and a studio for either an artist or a composer. Residencies are one semester (either early-September to mid-December or mid-January to the end of May) and accompanied by a stipend. A stipend of $1,500 is available.
