Our Work

The Art Monastery is a social sculpture that produces multi-disciplinary work by a wide network of artists in Europe and the USA. Specifically interested in process as much as product, the Art Monastery takes care to provide opportunities to emerging artists who are interested in the intersection of creativity, contemplation, and community. You'll find in our portfolio a wide sampling of public performances, interventions, and installations by the Artmonks since the project's inception in 2008.

Hosting Transformation: Berlin

Lab 2014: Prime

The Art Monastic Lab of 2014 took place in a location new to Artmonks: Caramanico Terme in Abruzzo, Italy. In an exciting new collaboration with local network of theater artists, ReTe, 10 artists gathered to live together in creative, contemplative community. Through a rigorous schedule of meditation at dawn, shared work, communal meals, and classes taught by the Artmonks and offered to the local community, an evening-length piece of dance-theater was collaboratively devised.

That piece is called Prime.
