In November of 2023 I spent a month at the Chateau d’Orquevaux artists and writers residency.

I had applied the year before in hope that the second time was the charm and that I’d get the chance to visit the worlds most beautiful artist residency. Getting in was the biggest delight and saving up the money for it was my driving force for the 18 months leading up to it. Now that I’m home and recovered from the jetlag, I wanted to share with you my personal audio diary I kept while at the Chateau.

This diary is from a few days before leaving, every day at the residency, and a few days after getting back home. I go into detail about what I experienced each day, talk about things I was learning, share tips for people wanting to come to the residency, and more.

See all the tips written out: https://www.stephaniescott.art/2024/1/16/chateau-audio-diary

Host and artist Stephanie Scott breaks down the practicality of the art career with topics including: sustainable creative practices, social media skills, and the mindsets that keep it all together. New episodes every Tuesday!
