Artists in Residence (AiR) at Galerie Huit Arles live and work within the thick stone walls of a prestigious, beautifully restored 17th century mansion. Exhibition spaces and convivial living quarters occupy the ground and lower floors. The upper floors comprise occasional seminar rooms, guest rooms and self-contained apartments for artists residencies. AiR at Galerie Huit provides a retreat from the distraction of everyday life and a valuable opportunity for artists to focus solely on their creative work.​
