TODI ARTS STUDIO

Todi Arts Studio at Villa Zefiro: An International Center for Contemporary Sculpture

Welcome to Todi Arts Studio, nestled in the exquisitely beautiful and tranquil medieval hill town of Todi, Italy. Todi Arts Studio at Villa Zefiro is a vibrant sanctuary for creativity, where we bring together exceptionally talented sculptors from around the world to find inspiration in the Umbrian countryside. We provide a nurturing space for our residents to explore their craft, cultivate their talents, and contribute to the cultural life of Todi.

“To transmit what is in the mind, to the hand, and from there to the material and from that inert matter to the form; then to simplify the form and at the same time enhance its energy - for that, one needs great craftsmanship. I have indeed intended to exemplify that craftsmanship, that capacity of bringing the hand to the same level as the intellect, in order to communicate with form. Art does not need to convince with words and does not need an organization or an institution to dictate what is and what is not. It speaks for itself. But if one wants to sculpt, he must know the material.”

- Tristan Cassamajor, Todi Arts Studio Resident 2023
