Program Description

The Montello Foundation provides a solitary retreat where artists can experience the vastness of a desert landscape from a safe building, a “base camp” a unique space for inspiration and creation, a place that provides a shield from distractions in the solitude of the desert. A building designed with a large shading roof under which there are two distinct spaces: one space for bodily needs: eating, sleeping, washing, and a stove for the cold desert nights, and a second space for work: for writing, painting, drawing, studying, a space for the first materializations of new ideas.
