Dear Friends,

I am raising funds to attend a month-long artist residency at  Chateau d’Orquevaux. I have been awarded The Denis Diderot  Grant of €1500 which has been applied towards partial cost of my residency. September 2022 here I come!  

Chateau d'Orquevaux offers a respite from "real" world  energy.  This magnificent estate in the French countryside of Champagne-Ardenne offers artists a place with limited distraction and an abundance of natural  inspiration.   

​The residency is creatively self-motivated with most of the meals provided, so that artists can fully immerse themselves in the environment and the French country lifestyle. There will be about 10 artists-in-residence at a time.

I am grateful for this time and the opportunity to be able to allow myself to come forth and share with the world my craft. This has truly been a life changing time for us all, it will never be the same. During this time of change, I am CHANGING and REDEFINNING BRE, through my ART. 

I am humbled in asking for your support. 

Thank you for considering.

Yours,

Bre Smith
