Happy Holidays Everyone! 
We want to introduce ICARTS Italia, SRL - the Italian company that will provide your accommodations, transportation and other amenities during your stay with us in Italy.

For all those of you who have not met her, we would also like to introduce Valentina Polito, who in her new role as Managing Director of ICARTS Italia will see to all your needs during your stay.
Last year we introduced our new kitchen staff and Loris and Cristiano will continue to continue to provide the extraordinary meals while you are in the village.

Gradually you will see changes in the new, streamlined website, but don’t worry, our facilities will remain the same - as they have for the last 600 years!

Under its new management and with its enhanced facilities, ICARTS Italia will provide an even more extraordinary experience for our guests, with airport transfer and Welcome/Departure service, 24/7 bi-lingual support, single occupancy accommodation with spectacular views, three traditional Umbrian/Italian meals per day with wine, workspace/studio space/meeting space (when required), as well as weekly excursions to top sites in Italy. All of course accompanied by the assistance, competence and professionalism that have always characterized the work of ICARTS, SRL Italia.

To celebrate these changes, ICARTS Italia would also like to take this opportunity to announce our first ever, Black Friday/Cyber Monday Special !!!

From November 30- December 1, we offer 20% off on all Residencies and Workshops.*

Many of you who have joined us at ICARTS in the past for our events: exhibitions, performances, concerts, etc., know of our commitment to learning, expression, cultural exchange - and sharing the richness of Umbrian culture!

In the past, we have focused our efforts at the center on attracting an international range of participants from around the world. We have found this to be a rich and rewarding experience, and we hope that all of you in the community of Monte Castello also feel that the cultural life of the village has been enhanced by these efforts. We are now also excited to announce new directions in our articulation with the community here in the village of Monte Castello di Vibio! In this regard, we have developed a number of experiences - specifically for our neighbors. We will do our best to share these opportunities with you all and to make participation an option that is easily available for residents of the village and the region. In this, often collaboration with local partners will be central tour objectives. Over the next few months, we hope to make these opportunities known to you and we hope you will join us in making them an ongoing source of enrichment.

We hope that you will sign up for our newsletter via our website at icarts.info@gmail.com. For questions about our programming, please contact Valentina at: icarts.srl@gmail.com.
