The Spring Group is the Woodman Residency’s initiative to have Italian artists also work at the residency. It is curated by artists Lorenzo Cianchi and Maria Pecchioli and was inaugurated in Spring 2024.

During the four days of the Spring Group Project in 2024, artists and curators shared their practices and participated in an open studio.

The program begins in Betty Woodman’s ceramic studio, with a focus on ceramics in multiple perspectives. The kiln is a catalyst for ideas and artists unveil the works fired during the project.

The Spring Group pays particular attention to the practices of invited artists, who are encouraged to share their research and their point of view on art themes.

The residency lends itself to an exchange of practices as well as contents, and promotes a active and conversational attitude.

The Spring Group will be ongoing each year.
