There are many demands put on artists and so our intention at Cafe Tissardmine is to provide a space for the artist to get re-inspired and to just breathe. The most important information we need when you apply are the reasons you feel the desert is the right place for you to be. We need to get an understanding from you that you understand how isolated we are. We have access to internet but not on a regular basis and it requires some effort to get it. It is beautiful here and silent. It does not have everything to hand so you need to be inventive and resourceful (with some help from us).
Cafe Tissardmine offers up to 9 artists a 24 day residency with no specific outcome required. There are opportunities to work with the children in the village and engage in village life.
