The experience at the project is unique! Vivien is nice and gentle and he is very attentive at people need. Great place to dedicate to your the project work and to be surrender by nature, forest and animals. The river nearby is very pretty and just few people are there! I had the time to focus on my writing and Vivien even provide me with some tips and nice conversation on this !

I had a wonderful time at this artist the project. The peaceful surroundings, the beautiful nature, and the animals created a truly inspiring atmosphere for painting and creative work. It was a great opportunity to focus on my art, slow down, and connect with the environment. I am grateful for the experience and would recommend it to artists, looking for a quiet place to create.

I was ar Art. Catz Resudency as an artist, to work on my drawings. The small farm, the relaxed atmosphere and friendly people made it a small paradise. Because of this I could focus very well on my artwork.

Art catz the project is an amazing place to visit for everyone but specially artists. Gorica is a calm and peaceful spot surrounded by an inspiring landscape. The residence has materials and proper space to develop art. The food is great and more than sufficient. I shared my stay there with a nice group of people living in fun and harmony. Vivien is a very generous and humble host. My time here was wonderful. Everything was perfect.
