Since 1998 Lonely Coast Art Projects organizes international artist residencies, notably in areas of natural beauty such as the Regional nature park de la Brière in Brittany, France and on the Dutch barrier island Texel.
Currently we are working on an international artist in residence project in the Regional nature park de la Brenne in Berry, France.
Products resulting from these artist in residence projects are group exhibitions and coffee table books:
Texel, in schoonheid verbeeld (Coeghe 2001)
La Brière. Artistes en escapade (Coiffard 2002)
