Support Kelli Sanchez's Residency at Château d’Orquevaux

Hi friends, family, and supporters of the arts!

I’m honored and excited to share that I’ve been accepted into a prestigious international artist residency at Château d’Orquevaux in the French countryside ,and awarded the Denis Diderot Grant to support my stay!

This 3-week residency (scheduled for February–March 2026) will allow me to fully immerse myself in creating new work, connecting with artists from around the world, and growing as both a person and an artist.

If you know me you’ll know that this is a huge dream of mine and it’s something that I’ve worked really hard towards , the fact that I was even chosen is a very humbling and surreal feeling for me.

While the grant helps offset the cost, I still need to cover:

• Flights & transportation

• Remaining residency fees

• Art supplies

• Food & essentials during my stay

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I can’t do alone. Any amount you can contribute (or even just sharing this )helps more than you know.

Thank you for believing in me and the power of creative expression. I promise to share the work, the journey, and all the beauty that comes from this experience.

With love and gratitude,

Kelli Sanchez
