About the Programme
The CCAA Residency Programme offers emerging talents a supportive environment in which to explore their creativity and develop their artistic practice. Participants are encouraged to push boundaries and realise their artistic vision while benefiting from the Centro’s network, receiving support in developing their self-presentation and, of course, in developing exhibition concepts.
The old post office
With the old post office in Flims, the CCAA is proud to have a satellite in the Grisons region. Just a stone’s throw from the Rhine Gorge with its swaying forests on one side and the Sardona Tectonic Arena, a World Heritage Site, on the other, the mountain village is predestined to find inspiration in nature. It is not only the unique location of the residence that stimulates creativity in a special way, but also the building itself: with the living area in the former garage, the studio in the former packing room and a showroom where people queued at counters until a few years ago, the old post office right next to Lake Cauma is a very special place.
The Refugio
Our historic building stands above the Furkareuss, its deliberately rustic character creating an authentic connection to the alpine surroundings. The natural simplicity of the location offers artists a special space where they can work free from distractions and in harmony with the mountain world. Surrounded by majestic peaks, fragrant alpine meadows and the clear light of the mountains, a special creative energy unfolds here. The original wood and stone architecture becomes an inspiring part of the artistic experience, while the seclusion allows for deep concentration.
Il Magazzino
The Magazzino in Ponte Brolla (opening in 2026) is located at the entrance to the Maggia Valley and Centovalli in a historic quarry stone building. The CCAA is developing a site dedicated to creativity here: raising the roof creates high gallery spaces for large-format artistic work and a surrounding band of windows for optimal daylight. Several simultaneous residency programmes will enable interdisciplinary exchange between artists. In addition to the residency spaces, the Magazzino will house an exhibition space, a zero-waste restaurant and a bed & breakfast.
