A Fun Evening Out in Provence

A Fun Evening Out in Provence

Thursday seems to be the new Friday in Provence this September, and last night saw many Network Provence ladies off to Mollégès to the opening view of Ashley Tinker’s exhibition at la Bibliothèque de Molleges (https://opac-x-bibliothequemolleges.biblix.net/)

Ashley had an excellent turnout on the still sultry September evening and judging by the red dots, it was also a successful event. 

Ashley Tinker is an anglophone Canadian artist living and working in Provence for the last ten years. Well known for her photography and lifestyle blog @curiousprovence, the free time of the pandemic saw her begin to paint in earnest. You can learn more about her work and projects at https://curiousprovence.com 

Her paintings are multi-view; at a distance, they are close to photographic representations of the sublime light and terrains we have all come to Provence to adore. Stepping up to a closer look reveals details and textures that are incredibly satisfying and masterfully precise. It was a delight to see these paintings in person, and you can visit the exhibition until the 27th of September.

Of course, the company was also a delight as we mingled and story-swapped with like-minded but diverse Network Provence members and others from the many corners of our belle region. 

Network Provence is a great gateway to learn and share the area’s events, talents, and happenings. Get in touch to learn about the membership and access to this vibrant community of anglophone women of Provence.

NG Art Creative Residency

Published on by Rebecca Ronane

A home away from home, NG Art Creative Residency is an international multi-disciplinary creative residency that offers a place of respite, nourishment and enlightenment for creatives who seek to enrich their artistic process away from the hustle and bustle of metropolitan life. Based a few kilometres from the historical village of Eygalières in Provence, Southern France, in a charming 15th century homestead, Mas des Pelerins.

 

NG Art Creative Residency is directed and run by long-standing gallerist, curator, entrepreneur and director Nicky Ginsberg. Born in London, schooled at the Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle, and University of Sydney to undertake a BA in Art History.
Whether utilizing the large studio space at Mas des Pelerins or creating en plein air in Provence, ignite your imagination amongst the olive groves, reclining in a hammock, beneath the fig tree or a secret location of your own. It’s hard not to be inspired in the epicentre of art, culture and creative spirit. Immortalised by the greats, the memories of Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Frédéric Mistral, Alphonse Daudet, Joseph Roumanille and Marie Mauron live on within the sun-kissed meadows, sweeping hills, red poppy fields and jasmine-scented cobbled streets.

 

Creatives will have the opportunity to feast from dawn to dusk. Together, local chefs and Madame Ginsberg source ingredients for the local markets, exhibit their culinary skillset, and impart their knowledge of food and authentic French cuisine. Here you can taste the fruits of their labor, one ingredient at a time, and lend a helping hand so that you too can create creative and culinary masterpieces.

At the end of your stay you have the opportunity to present your body of work, script, performance, composition, or piece of writing, over a celebratory feast for all of the senses.
Residency Creatives can engage with the local artist community at evening soirées, feasts for the senses, workshops, and over Côte de Provence Rosès at local vineyards.
The NG Art Creative Residency is open from September to May each year. There are three different packages available and the preferred length of stay is 3, 4 or 6 weeks.

If you would like to collaborate or run a workshop with NG Art Creative Residency you can reach us via email or whatsapp. We look forward to celebrating Provence with you.
